How to choose a good Carrom Board and
Accessories?

• Carrom is an indoor game that resembles a
  combination of pool and air hockey.
• It is a popular indoor family game in Asian and
  European countries, and its popularity has
  resulted in numerous variations of the game.
• A square wooden board with four corner sockets
  (pockets) and a striker-piece that is flicked
  towards target pieces known as carrom-men is used
  in the carrom board game.
• The object of this game is to score points by
  sinking the nine carrom "men" (white or black)
  followed by the queen-coin before your opponent.
• Carrom is a popular indoor game because, unlike
  other indoor games, it does not require the use
  of a dice.

• This game, like billiards, pool, marbles, and air
  hockey, requires both physical and mental skills
  to win.
• It is simple to grasp and equally enjoyable to
  play.
• This exciting game, also known as Finger Board,
  can be played by a maximum of four and a minimum
  of two people.

  Accessories required to play

1. Carrom Board

• The carrom board is a square plywood board with
  four netted sockets on each corner and a wooden
  frame.
• The board's playing surface is a square plywood
  board with specific patterns on it.
• The plywood has a smooth, polished surface with
  little friction. The coins can move freely on
  this smooth surface.
• The standard size of a carrom board is 74 cm x 74
  cm, or 29" square.
• However, there are smaller sizes available for
  children, as well as larger sizes for those who
  are familiar with the game and want to try
  something new and challenging.

• The thicker and heavier carrom boards are more
  expensive, but they provide the best cannon
  effect and rebound factor.
• The four corner holes on each corner of the board
  are netted and underneath to keep the striker in
  place.
• The carrom board is held up by wooden bracings
  that are attached to the borders as well as the
  plywood.

2. Carrom Men

• Carrom men are the nineteen soft wooden or
  acrylic discs used in the game.
• There are nine white coins, nine black coins, and
  one red coin known as the Queen.
• The wooden carrom men have been used since the
  game's inception and are a standard game
  accessory.
• Acrylic alternatives have recently gained
  popularity because they are lighter and smoother.
• There is a significant difference in gameplay
  between the wooden and acrylic versions.
• While the wooden ones are easier to control and
  manipulate, the acrylic ones are less abrasive
  and glide better on the carrom board than the
  wooden ones.

3. Carrom striker

• The carrom striker is a larger and heavier
  acrylic disc than the coins that is used to
  "strike" the coins into the pockets.
• There are numerous strikers available.
• Although one can always choose a striker that
  looks good, it is always more important to choose
  a striker that is of good quality, is not
  lightweight, has a smooth surface, and has a high
  impact.

4. Carrom Powder

• Carrom powder is yet another important component
  of the game.
• To reduce friction between the coins and the
  board, this powder is sprinkled on the surface.
• The better the coins glide, the smoother the
  board is.
• Carrom powders are available in two varieties.
• The traditional powder is a boric acid-based
  powder that reduces friction.
• Then there are Teflon and Disco powders, which
  vastly improve performance.

10

• The difference between boric powder and Disco
  powder is that boric powder reduces friction
  while Disco powder is made up of microspheres
  that act as rollers.
• Disco powder increases speed more effectively
  than boric powder, but because it is an abrasive,
  it may damage the carrom board.

How to choose a good carrom board?

• Because the carrom board game is such an
  important part of your gaming experience, you
  should think about a few things before picking
  one at random
• The surface of the carrom board must be as flat
  as possible.
• Cheap boards made of thin plywood rarely have a
  flat surface.
• These are also the boards that wear out quickly.
• Without the powder, the playing surface must be
  smooth, with no irregularities or bumps.
• These are the carom boards that are sold
  primarily during pandemics, and some websites
  claim that we sold a large number of them during
  lockdown.

12

• The corner pockets are the next factor to
  understand.
• The striker must be able to fall into these
  pockets, which must be large and round (but not
  too large).
• Low-budget individuals may have small and
  inconsistent pockets. Make sure all of the
  pockets have a minimum radius of 3 cm.
• Shots with thicker frames have better rebounds
  and stability.
• The best performance comes from carrom boards
  with a polished wooden frame.
• When placing the carrom board on a table or the
  ground, make sure it does not shake. A solid
  foundation should be present on the board.
• Alternatively, you can use a high-quality carrom
  board stand that can support heavy-duty carrom
  boards.

Conclusion

• Carrom is a great indoor game for the whole
  family.
• It becomes extremely competitive, just like any
  other sport.
• Despite the fact that it has a board carrom, it
  is unlike any other board game.
• This sport can be mastered with the right
  patience, practise, and concentration.
• Carrom is a game that requires skill rather than
  luck.
• Make sure you get the right size and powder
  before buy carrom board.
