carromball

Carrom is a popular indoor board game that originated in India. It is played on a square board with four pockets at each corner. The objective of the game is to use a striker ball to pocket the opponent's carrom balls, which are smaller and lighter than the striker. The game can be played individually or in pairs, with each player taking turns to strike the ball towards the pockets. The player who pockets the most carrom balls wins the game. Carrom is known for its strategic gameplay and is often played in social settings, such as parties and gatherings. The game requires skill, precision, and a good understanding of the board's layout to successfully pocket the carrom balls. Carrom is also known by various names in different regions, such as "carambola" in Portugal and "carom" in the United States. The game has evolved over time, with different variations and rules being developed in various countries. Despite its simplicity, carrom remains a beloved game that brings people together for friendly competition and enjoyment.
