Carrom is a popular indoor game that is played on a board with small round pieces called carrom men and a larger striker piece.
The objective of the game is to use the striker piece to hit and pocket the carrom men, which are usually made of plastic or wood.
The game is typically played by two or four players, with each player aiming to pocket a certain set of carrom men, which are white and black or red and white, depending on the rules of the game.
The game is believed to have originated in India in the 19th century and is now popular in many countries around the world.
Carrom boards can be made from a variety of materials, such as wood, plastic or fibreboard, but wooden boards are most commonly used.
The size of the board and the carrom men can vary, but standard boards are about 29 inches by 29 inches.
The game can be played in various formats such as singles, doubles, or team play.
Carrom is easy to learn but difficult to master as it requires hand-eye coordination, precision and focus.
The game is also known as finger billiards, and is often played in clubs, homes, and youth centers.
There are also international tournaments and competitions organized for the sport, with India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka considered to be among the top nations in the world in terms of skill and talent.
