How to Select the Best Carrom Board
2

• Carrom board games are one of the most important
  features of your gaming experience.
• thus, before randomly selecting a board, you
  should examine the following factors

3

• The surface of the carom board should be as flat
  as possible.
• Cheap boards made of thin plywood rarely offer
  flatness.
• These are also boards that wear out quickly. The
  toy surface should be smooth and powder-free,
  with no blemishes or lumps.
• These are the carom boards that were sold in
  large numbers during the epidemic, and some
  websites have stated that we sold them in bulk
  during the lockdown.

4

• Corner pockets are the next topic of
  conversation.
• These pockets should be large and round enough to
  accommodate a striker (but not too large).
• Low budgets can have low and uneven pockets.
• Make sure all pockets have a minimum radius of 3
  cm.

5

• Thick frames provide high rebound and shot
  stability.
• The best performance comes from the carom board
  with the polished wooden frame.

6

• When you place the carom board on the table or
  the ground, make sure it does not move.
• The foundation of the circle should be strong.
• Alternatively, you can use a high-quality carom
  board stand that can support heavy-duty carom
  boards.

The following are the basic accessories required
to play carrom

• Carrom board
• Carrom board is a square plywood board with four
  netting sockets and a wooden frame at each
  corner.
• The toy surface of the board is a square plywood
  board with distinctive patterns.
• Plywood has a smooth, polished surface with
  little friction.
• Coins can move easily on this smooth surface.

8

• The typical size of a carom board is 74 cm 74
  cm, or 29 "square.
• However, smaller sizes are available for young
  children, as well as those who are accustomed to
  the game and want to try something new.

9

• Carrom men
• Carrom Men are nineteen soft wooden or acrylic
  discs used in games.
• Nine white coins, nine black coins and one red
  coin are known as queens.
• Wooden carom has been used since the inception of
  the men's game and is a common game accessory.
• Acrylic alternatives have recently gained
  traction because they are lighter and smoother.

10

• Carrom Striker
• A carom striker is a larger and heavier acrylic
  disc than a coin used to "strike" a coin pocket.
• Numerous strikers are available.
• Although one can always choose the best-looking
  striker, it is always important to choose a good
  quality, lightweight, smooth surface and strong
  impact striker.

11

• Carrom Powder
• Carrom powder is another essential gaming item.
• This powder is sprinkled on the surface of the
  board to reduce the friction between the coin and
  the board.
• The better the coins move, the smoother the board
  will be.

12

• Carrom powder is given in two forms. The
  conventional powder is a boric acid-based powder
  that reduces friction.
• This is followed by Teflon and Disco Powder,
  which significantly improve performance.
• The difference between boric powder and disco
  powder is that boric powder reduces friction, but
  disco powder contains microspheres that act like
  rollers.
• Disco powder is faster than boric powder, but
  since it is abrasive, it has the potential to
  damage the carrom.

13

• It is recommended to use less boric or disco
  powder before each game but not at the same time.
