Carrom Board

 Carrom is one of the most interesting game i have felt ever. It is a indoor game played by the people of most of the countries of the world such as Nepal, India ,Pakistan etc. Moreover it has got very interesting rules. There are four sides in the board and each sides contains one team. The total of four people can play this game. They may also play by making two teams or they may play single as well. There is a queen which is taken at the ending of the game and the game is won by the people takes queen at last.
In 1889 Henry Haskell, a Sunday School teacher, was concerned about the growing number of boys who were hanging around pool rooms. He decided to use his clever and inventive mind to create games for the boys would be wholesome and enjoyable. Carrom has been providing family entertainment for all ages ever since. Some games tested your skills or used strategy, other games were just for fun.
The Carrom Company went through various name changes through the years (it was originally the Ludington Novelty Company until 1901), but today is known as the Carrom Company, just as it was known from 1914-1939.
The original Carrom game tables were table top games. They were usually made of wood, about 30" square which often had rounded corners and some with pockets in each corner for various games. Different game patterns were featured on each side.
