This is our take on the Indian classic. Carrooka Carrom360, a super smooth rotating board in a stunning natural birch finish and screen-printed with traditional Carrom markings.  It needs all the skill and strategy of the larger Carrooka boards, but Carrom is a very different game; you start every shot by placing the striker in the correct “striking zone” to pot either yellows or blacks. Pot and cover the “queen”, that’s the red, for extra points.  Simply place the board on your dining or coffee table and you’re ready to play.

It’s a game for two people, or four people playing as two teams. If you’re playing in teams, you turn should follow your opponent. Each frame will last for approximately 10 minutes, depending on skill levels, a match is made from several frames and ends when one player reaches 21 points..

To begin, just place your Carrooka Carrom360 board on a dining or coffee table and set out the counters. Choose who “breaks” and using one finger, flick the heavier striker counter on to the pack. You’re aiming to pot one, in one of the six pockets around the edge of the board. If you succeed, you spin the board to line up your next shot, replace the striker in the striking zone and shoot again.  If you miss or foul, it’s the next persons turn. But if you keep potting your designated counters, you keep your turn.  Pot and “cover” the queen (that’s the red counter) to gain extra points.

Think it sounds easy? Well, it is easy to understand and you’ll be playing in an instant, but you’ll quickly discover that it takes skill and consideration to become a great Carrooka Carrom360 player! You’ll develop fine-motor skills, learn to calculate angles and judge the perfect pace of each shot. Be careful of those foul shots too, if you hit the wrong counter, pot the striker, or miss altogether, you have to pay a penalty and put one of your counters back on the board! We’ll send you an instruction book where it’s all clearly explained. You could also follow us on social media or youtube for handy videos and hints.
