The story
Carrom is the game of this island and half of South Asia — a flicking game, somewhere between billiards and shove ha'penny, played with flat wooden discs on a powdered board. Four corner pockets, nine white, nine black, and one red queen that has to be covered to count.
The surface is plywood printed with the standard layout: the central star, the base lines, the corner arrows and circles that set where you may strike from. The frame is solid timber, and the four corner pockets are netted underneath.
It has been played on. You can see it in the middle of the board where the finish has gone slightly smoother from decades of boric acid powder and sliding discs, which is exactly the condition you want — a new carrom board plays badly until it has been broken in.
