What is "pichenotte"

Pichenotte is a French Canadian tabletop game, with a board, game pieces and rules similar to carrom. Used more broadly, the term is a general name for tabletop games played with small (usually wooden) pieces that are flicked using the thumb and index (or middle) finger, including such games as carrom, sharing a similarity in that their mechanics lie somewhere between pocket billiards and shuffleboard. The term is sometimes also mistakenly used as the actual name of other games of this class, such as carrom and crokinole. Commercially produced boards are available, some under the trade name Pinnochi. The game is sometimes referred to as "piche" or "pish".
