[@NevilleBamshu23]

Really fun game..the predecessor to snooker..

[@sdrahcir5054]

@@NevilleBamshu23 that’s what I was really thinking- it’s like a mini version of some type of snooker or pool game. And clearly a huge influence on the air hockey table game. And also reminds me of table shuffleboard the way they use that really fine sand or whatever it is to make the pieces slide down the table. Looks like in this game they are using some sort of talcum powder. I need to watch a video to learn all the rules and strategy. Looks fun though for sure- these dudes making it look easy I’m sure tho!

its been many many years since ive touched carrom. I have never ever watched a professional match before. glad i did and I'm just blown away at how smooth and precise these players make a move.

this is the stupidest game I've ever seen.

[@Mogwai-z9f]

Agreed. Carrom is more fascinating than Snooker.

[@bhaskarbalasubramaniam7557]

The board seems to be super smooth and the smoothness seemed better handled by Prashanth. Though Nishantha being an all round player, I am ardent fan of his innovative double ideas, he could not perform against Prashanth every time they met. Well played and congrats to Prashanth and wish better luck next time to Nishantha. Carrom ICF could have taken better efforts for the video recording of this match as the video quality was very poor, could watch many crucial moments, also no display of scores. Anyway thanks for recording such a wonderful match between two great stalwarts of carrom world, it is always a treat to watch the game of Nishantha.

[@russs7574]

My Dad bought a Carrom Board back in the 50s (before I was born). I've got it now, and 70 years later, when my S.O. and I have her family over at Memorial Day and Labor Day, it comes out and we play. Ditto for the table-top hockey game I got for Christmas 1963 (still works perfectly).

[@Mogwai-z9f]

Love the Stiga hockey tables.

[@kuruptzZz]

Awesome. I was gifted a carrom board as a kid, and played a few times. We need this in the US

[@OLDMANTEA]

Carrom is one of those games that definitely looks a lot easier than it really is.

Growing up as a kid we had a 4 person Carom table. In the 4 corners instead of a hole, ours had netted pockets. Instead of 'checker' type pieces, our pieces were thick plastic rings. My middle finger was always sore after playing. Our table also came with small pool cues that could be used for a different kind of game. Fun, fun, fun.

[@ericswain4177]

OMG! We had a carrom board as kids in the 1970's in Ohio. Just a fun and creative multipurpose game board. Never knew it was a precious sport in any Country? Also, I had a game with a bunch of different sized poker chips that was rectangular shaped where it had a massive amount of games, Chief among them was the hickey game where you flicked one chip between two other chips to score goals. I remember blue and red poker chips. There was two diamond obstacles right in front if the goal to block easy scoring. It was a great simple strategy game you didn't even need two players to enjoy playing it! Memories! Memories! Why this video came up in my feed I have noooo idea (I was watching political videos)? But my mind is just so happy that this reminded me of the game. Somehow the number 151 is in my head too? Was it the Carrom game or the hockey game?

[@occupant123]

I used to play on one of these boards as a child...had numerous games on either side. Didn't know how to play or any rules but it sure was fun!

this is the second time ive seen this game. Is there a "best" brand out there that makes professional level tables? I cannot find much on what "regulation" sizes are. Would seem its a mix of table size AND "puck" size. forgive my ignorance on the subject. Hoping to add one to my game room for a more relaxed play than pool, superchexx, golden tee, ping pong and air hockey!

We played a similar game on the streets of Brooklyn called Skellies. Bottle caps filled with candle wax and 15 boxes painte in chalk on the tar street. Great fun as a kid!

[@humanbean3]

i understand this sport intuitively from playing billiards at a high level. you can tell their intentions and when they're going to use the cue to make a shot and simultaneously break up other clusters or move object pucks in more desirable spots. 23:16 what a great "carrom" shot here

[@YellowSTS]

This looks like a fun game to learn. I've seen a bigger board where the players use rings to shoot, and the pieces move easily like on an air hockey table.
