Have a go at the game linked here. Clever, eh?
I scored 15 with 141 and lost my striker twice.
I don’t know how long it took but it could be quite addictive.
You have been warned.
The guy who designed it is a medical student, who also writes music parodies. Where does he fid the time?
I don’t know how tall he is but he is dark and handsome.

In Mumbai & nearby cities in Maharashtra carrom is used for gambling. This is one reason why Maharashtran players are brilliant at the game.
In India every state has Carrom clubs, some with coaching and other facilities.
The coaches are very conscientious and train their champions hard. They maintain the carrom boards and ensure they are in good condition. They also ensure the comfort of the players and that venues are suitable for playing, e.g.. sufficient light.
There is great competition all over India and new faces are coming up all the time.
The champions like Natraj and Babu better watch out.
These are well known players in India, but have yet to be recognized in the rest of the world.
Thanks to Harpreet for his advice. I’m such an innocent. I never imagined people would gamble on Carrom.
Well, you could just play in a field… but we figured we’d give you a few better suggestions than that:
Here are a few tips to get a Carrom club started near you.
1 Ask in your local pub if you can hold a match there on a night that is usually quiet. Make sure to bring a few friends, not rent-a-crowd, and encourage any regulars to join in. It makes a change from Karaoke and quizzes. It’s a good idea to take a board along beforehand, and show the landlord/lady and remind them also that Carrom players and spectators do get thirsty.
2 You could also try community centres and colleges.
3 What about a lunchtime club at work?
