Pitchnut (1900)

Pitchnut is a tabletop dexterity game of French Canadian origins that borrows elements from Carrom, Crokinole and Pichenotte. American game players will recognize elements of pool and shuffleboard. The game is played on a handmade wooden board 28 square inches with pockets in each corner. There are Canadian and American rules variations, but all games involve flicking wooden disk "shooters" into lighter wooden disks such that the lighter disks land in one of the four pockets.
