Croconole is a parlor game, apparently, although I'd never heard of it before. Here is what a Wikepedia article has to say about it:

Crokinole (/ˈkrkɨnl/ KROH-ki-nohl) is an action board game similar in various ways to pitchnut, carrom, marbles, and shove ha'penny, with elements of shuffleboard and curling reduced to table-top size. Players take turns shooting discs across the circular playing surface, trying to have their discs land in the higher-scoring regions of the board, while also attempting to knock away opposing discs.

If you want to read more about this game, go to the Wikepedia article: Crokinole.
