So it does apply , the basic concept of Angles, Force, Speed, Distance

Only indoor games which had entertain every youth of my generation (90's). It was not like of today's generation which mostly hooked themselves on the mobile and computer screen. Our generation grown up playing all kind of sports and CarromBoard is one such game, which is played on a wooden board and some coins (not the currency) made up of hard anodised plastic or wooden blocks, Black & White in colours and round in shape. Quite polished and silken smooth to skid smoothly on the wooden surface.

The game is played with total of 19 coins. 9 each of Black and White (total 18), and a Red coin which we call Queen, right at the centre. We need anotger heavy coin which is bigger and hard than usual coin and we call them Striker.

The game is like Queen is in centre and Black & White are the pawns who protect the red one. Once striker hit the stronghold, , the player need to to pocket the coin one after the another.

But there is a bet, a player can only pocket only one colour of the coin. The player should focus on getting each of their coin into the pocket, and in process need to take on the Red Queen as well.

There were 4 corners, and player can get their coins pocket at any of them using the striker. Just place the striker at the lines of your side and hit the coin making some angles, using distance , speed theory and strike exactly same way to get the coin pocket.

The one who finishes the coins alongwitg the Red Queen is the ultimate winner of the game. The game is played with best of 3 or best of 5. Whosoever won, may continue their next game.

The game can be played ,between 2 players or between 4 players with 2 player on the opposite side would make a team, to playe along the other two as opponents.

I belive, being a silent homely game, this must be the most sought game played during the Corona pandemic. Afterall it does not require any big playground. Own a board at home and just enjoy some quality time pass. One after the another, there is nothing better than staying at home with loved ones and be safe.

In middle of playing some carrom games, I thought to share this with community, may be to recall some good olden days.

Peace

Namaste @steemflow
