Crokin was a strategy-based game. It was enjoyed on the agricultural satellite called Raada. The game involved two competing teams. Each team took their turn propelling small circular objects onto a hexagonal playing surface that had pegs attached. If a circular object failed to make contact with a opposing circular object already in play, it was taken out of the game. Points were earned by dislodging the opposing team's circular objects from the playing surface, and also by successfully placing circular objects in the playing surface's center.
Crokin was a strategic tabletop game that was played by two teams. It was possible for two individuals to play against each other, or larger groups could form teams. The game consisted of propelling small circular objects into specific positions on a large, hexagon-shaped playing surface. The game had two objectives: to score points with your own pieces on the playing surface and to remove the opposing team's pieces from it. The playing surface had pegs sticking out of it. Players would move around the playing surface to make different shots. The circular objects were differentiated by colour. Players would aim their circular objects at specific areas of the playing surface, like the center, and at other circular objects that had already been propelled by players on the opposing team. Teams would alternate turns taking shots. If a player aimed at an opponent's piece but failed to hit it, that player's piece would be removed from the playing surface. Players could place their circular objects next to or behind the pegs on the playing surface to protect them. Circular objects that were accurately shot into the playing surface's center resulted in points, which were automatically shown on the scoreboard. The automatic scoring system was capable of knowing when all the circular objects were played, indicating the end of the game. The playing surface also had wiring that allowed music to play when players scored.
After arriving on Raada, the Force-Sensitive Exile Ahsoka Tano experienced crokin for the first time at Selda's bar with her new friends. These friends included the agriculturalists Vartan, Malat, the sisters Kaeden and Miara Larte, and the twin siblings Neera and Hoban shortly after the Galactic Empire showed up on the farming moon. Even though she had never played the game previously, the others insisted that crokin was very popular. After watching several shots, Tano thought that it would be very easy for her to cheat and use the Force to direct her shots. Tano decided that she enjoyed the game, finding it oddly comforting, and thinking that her former Jedi partner Obi-Wan Kenobi would also find the game interesting. Her play improved over time, although Vartan was still a much better player.
As the locals planned to resist the Imperial occupation, Hoban created a map of the new Imperial base on Raada by positioning circular objects on the crokin playing surface. When Tano noticed, she quickly knocked the circular objects across the table so no one would see their plans. As their efforts continued, Tano attempted to plan a course of action by suggesting they subtly manipulate the Empire's goals for the harvest, making the analogy of shooting at an opponent's piece on a crokin playing surface instead of only trying to position your own pieces. Throughout what would become the Raada Rebellion, Tano continually used crokin as a way to explain tactics to the farmers, noting that although she was capable of visualizing strategies in more simple terms, the farmers needed a medium to connect to military strategy, unlike the clone soldiers she had worked with during the Clone Wars.
After Kaeden was jailed by the Galactic Empire, her dominant arm was broken during interrogation. After she was rescued by Tano, she hid in the caves outside of the town for several weeks with her sister Miara, practicing crokin with her other arm as a way to learn how to use her weaker hand. Following Hoban's demise at the hands of the Empire, Neera also stayed with them in the caves. Neera, who seldom spoke following her twin's death, would routinely play crokin against Kaeden simply sitting down and organizing the circular objects as the invitation to play instead of verbally asking. Neera was a much stronger player then Kaeden.
Crokin was first seen in the novel Ahsoka by E. K. Johnston. Its description is similar to the real-world Canadian tabletop game Crokinole.
