Carrom Board Game - Large Size for Family Fun!

Daryl l.: Don't like the flat pockets instead of the old web pockets

Alex: This board has pieces of flat plastic that are nearly level with the board in the pockets, instead of nets, which is highly frustrating. This makes it so you have to constantly remove pieces off the board when rings are made otherwise they'll just hit the ones pocketed and not go in. This also means that making shots is harder in general since the rings can't fall into the normal pocket.

I bought this same board last year for a friend and it came with net pockets, so I'm confused/disappointed in this one.

Stephen DoughertyStephen Dougherty: I played Carroms when I was a kid and it was a hoot. I bought a board in the 1990's or so and had a lot of fun with it...I don't know what happened to that one. This new one might not be the quality of the 60's ones I grew up with...but then, they had to be better built to withstand the rigors of daily childhood play... I did buy two real VanLan 3-foot cues. The "cues" supplied with the board are just 2-foot wooden dowels with plastic tips...good enough for kids but unsatisfactory for adults. The plastic rings are still good quality and the board resounds with that solid "click" when you sink a hard-hit shot.
I guess you could play the 100+ games they claim, but who cares? "Carroms" is what I grew up with and I still abide by all the arcane rules I learned back then. It is a loosey-goosey pool game on a short table and it is still as fun as I remember. Come over and play!

CasieCasie: I found out about this game while scrolling through IG and someone I follow was at home playing Carrom with her family. I thought it was a cool looking game so I went on YouTube and found videos to learn how to play it. It reminds me of a mix between a game the boys on the block used to play years ago called Tops (if you choose to use your fingers). It’s also like tabletop Pool. I chose this one because it has a bunch of other games to play. The quality is amazing. Very sturdy. Another person who reviewed this complained that the corners are plastic, those are covers so that your table won’t get scratched and if you’re using the side with the checker board then the other side facing down has little wooden pronges that’s needed for another game. So the plastic corners serve a purpose and so the board won’t slide all over the place. This pic was from this evening, myself and my nephew working on our skills because this was our first time playing it. I can’t say enough great things about this game board and I highly recommend it especially during this pandemic when we’re all getting back to basics and learning all over again how to enjoy family time together the old...

EDED: Este tablero equivalente a un juguete para niños, es agradable a la vista y quizá una buena opción conocer o darse una idea de cómo jugar Carrom o Crokinole, utilizarse esporádicamente o entretener a los niños.

El juego es sí de ambos es muy divertido y fácil de aprender, pero para aquellos que ya conocen estos juegos y han podido jugarlos en tableros de calidad, van a quedar decepcionados, lo cual es de esperarse por el precio, por desgracia no existen muchas opciones donde conseguir estos juegos en nuestro país, debido a que son poco conocidos.

No es un tablero que vaya a durar mucho con el uso. Está fabricado con cartón prensado, que tiende a pandearse del centro durante el juego, y es muy fácil de que la superficie se raye o dañe. Si llegara a tener contacto con el agua es muy probable que se deteriore rápidamente. Ni las dimensiones, diseño, materiales, sensación de juego o desplazamiento de las fichas se parecen en nada a un verdadero tablero de Carrom o Crokinole.

Aun considerando su bajo costo, lo devolví por el problema que tiene por falta de rigidez y de pandearse al centro mientras se juega Carrom. De la misma forma, la parte...

Abrar Ahmad: Fast delivery. Good packing , Kool stuff, bit hard to understand instructions.. Doesn't come with traditional Carrom coins and striker. Any way kids like it and having Funtime.

Will Hoyt: This is exactly what I expected from a starter Carrom/Crokinole board. With the bonus of having a variety of different games to play when/if you tire of the aforementioned 2.

The board is of fairly heavy ply with veneer or some sort of laminate to give the surface a nice flat, warp free surface(on both sides). I did however, (lightly)rub in some standard furniture polish to reduce the friction of the Carrom men(pieces). And this worked fantastically. The board is surrounded by a raised impact plastic covering. That both serves as a rebound edge and to protect the board when stored or in tranasit.The nettings for the pockets is descent and should withstand years of regular use.

The Carrom men(pieces) are of high quality plastic. And have a good heft to them considering what they are. They rebound and deflect off the other pieces pretty convincingly.
Also included are: Cue sticks(wooden dowels with a plastic tip), pins(for some of the games - ie. Bowling stile or skittles), lightweight plastic tops used for games like Skittles. Paper inserts(#1-15) that are cut and placed within the hollow centers of the Carrom pieces for a few of the Carrom game variations provided...
