The Game of Carrom

The Game of Carrom


Age: 8+
Players: 2-4
uk p&p £1.50

You can choose a tournament, special or standard board in either a compass, carnival or dreamcatcher design.

Standard boards have square internal corners.

Special boards have rounded internal corners.

Tournament boards have rounded internal corners and deeper frames. The deeper frames allow for more powerful rebound shots.

Strikers vary in weight and design. The maximum weight for a striker is 15 grams but many players prefer a lighter striker, as light as 5 grams in some cases. All of our strikers are around 40mm in diameter, small enough to fit down a pocket to incur a penalty! The different prices reflect the various materials, weight and the quality of the graphics.

Toogood’s Carrom boards are handmade in the UK from the highest grade East European plywood with a white Ash frame.

They are oiled several times to make the pieces slide easily. This produces a superb playing surface with excellent performance.

The designs are screen printed onto the wood. Ash frames and birchwood ply boards vary in grain pattern and colour to make the visual texture of each board unique.

To play you lay the board over a dining table or coffee table. From the moment you begin, Carrom is immediately exciting. At a beginners level it is fun to make the pieces fly across the board and disappear into one of the corner pockets. With a little practice you can control the pieces to achieve more complex shots.

There are many versions and variations, ranging from a simple race to win points through to more complex and sophisticated games played at club and international tournament level.
