Carrom is a board game played by 2 or 4 players against each other. The principles of carrom are very similar to pool, snooker or billiards (without the cues). The objective of carrom is to pot all your carrom pieces before your opponent, using skill, determination and a little bit of luck.

Carrom itself in various forms originates from Asia and carrom is played all over the world. This game has many names including (Indian billiards, carrum, carom, karum, or karrum). The carrom board and carrom pieces are usually made from wood although acrylic strikers and pieces are often used as well.
