Far from it. This is the game that turns your calm book-and-armchair grandpa into a wild competitive lunatic. It turns your sweet auntie into a table-flipping animal. It's up there with Euchre for turning old people into unhinged gamers, and I absolutely love it for that.
I'm particularly impressed by your choice of "up there with Euchre" as a metaphor to explain Crokinole. It's like you wanted to make it relatable for people in a larger geographic region, but only a little larger.
