Same here. My aunt and uncle had this game when I was a kid. I never knew how it's called. I enjoyed it very much and always looked forward to playing before going to their house.

Nice game...Prashant pulled the game back nicely after the very first board black slam and second board white slam by Louis...did not lose his confidence...Thanks MCA for posting this game...
I just found this as well. Even though I might have had something like this as a kid. Never imagined that it was a real game taken so seriously. Looks really fun. Love playing pool so,
@@satishmorey6952 As far as I know this game comes from India, which means it will be more common in India. I'm English therefore I have never heard of the game until recently due to cultural differences, I grew up with football and marbles etc. I was explaining my ignorance of the game. Does this explain well enough for you? You're correct that being English is nothing special, neither is being any other nationality in particular. Is there a reason behind your snide remark? This page is for people who admire and love this game, keep it that way.
What a dangerous player...full credit to prashant to keep his cool and stay in his elements...in fact prashant showed great respect to louis by not pocketing the queen and donate the board of 3 points...this man could have scored 12 points on prashants break also and it was seemed to be most probable of doing it..congrats both
@@venurao8721 now i realised you are talking about 3 points donated by prashant...its in the last but one board of the match...sorry i didn't read it properly...
louis fernandes you good finish have done good job great remembrance moment in the carrom history every carrom player should appreciate this performance.
This my nth time watching this particular match and this match doesn't stops to amaze me ... Pm has showed why he is genius of this game .. sheer class ! 💯💯
@@アーノルドこうき-c7c I've done research and the powder is boric acid which causes infertility and disease. It seemed like the perfect game until I read that. I think the modern game uses something less dangerous, but still. Why couldn't they just use oil or something?
@Nomsen1302 Watch it at 0.25 speed, they do in fact collide twice. The trajectory of the red piece is changed after the second strike, right before going in. Absolutely Brilliant.
I just got here I don’t know how. But it’s 5am and Im not mad. It was very interesting. Thanks TH-cam algorithm. Now next video suggestion, Goat races. You never disappoint TH-cam.
C'mon man. Louis Fernandez is one of the best players in the world. What do you mean by attitude? He is an attacking player and has.that fierce attitude.
I remember carrom as a child. But it was played with a stick similar to pool. And u could flip the board and play a maze like carrom game with obstacles in your way. Ahhhh the good ol days. Now we just watch ppl play carroms.lol
I was watching the Common Man Show channel and ended up here. I don't know what I'm watching but I'm interested. I see a mix between billiards, bocce ball, and air hockey.
PM maintained his standard of game throughout match. Unfortunately same cannot be said of LF. Had LF been morr consistent at crucial moments, it could have been one of the best matches. Thanks a ton MCA for uploading ❤
Louis, Absolutely flawless Very fast game .Just Badluck, Come to India to play more intense matches like this one.I m your fan. Prashant as usual calm and composed.we all love u and your game. Thx to MCA
Never heard of this game until this video popped up on my feed randomly. Looks like some sort of cross between air hockey and pool. Some pretty slick shots, though.
I'm watching this match for the 10th time and each time I watch this match I get to learn new things and Pm sir is outstanding player and it seems Louis sir has very aggressive game play which we often don't see in regular matches ..
Maybe my grandma wanted this game to be more challenging so she taught us striking coin directly which is on the line where you place striker and striking coins which is behind your line is not allowed only way to touch that is strike should be rebounded, Hitting directly to opponent coin to get your coin to hole is not allowed, if you pot your striker or opponent coin to hole you have to place back one of your potted coin on board... Well this gameplay looks easy(of course I'm not good as those professionals but game play is easy).
we played this game as I was growing up (70'S) but we called the game "KnockKnock." and it was played like 8-ball pool, but we still called the board Carrom board. We had a different style of launching the plastic rings, but it was all the same.
Played this as a kid in suburban CA back in the 70s/80s. City set of older kids at schools with games, balls, etc. for the younger kids to have a place to play and hang out over the summer. Good memories...
After school, when they still had after-school playground directors in 1969, we played carrom with small wooden sticks at John Muir Elementary in Berkeley, CA. I never imagined anyone played this game at a competitive level.
At 7:15, the guy says 8 black carrom on the board, but there were actually 9. So with the queen he should have scored 12 points there. So shouldn't the score be 13-0 at this point?
What tha heck did I just watch 😂 lololol, first time in my life i found out about this game, probably the rarest thing TH-cam recommended to me. Fun game tho 😎👍
This is one game Indians are really the best in the world at. It should be introduced in the Olympics. Major competitors will be SL or France. But we will prevail. ❤️
Used to play that when I was a kid although the board wasn't as slick as this one pictured. My grandmother was the only person I ever knew that had a Carrom board
LOUIS FERNANDES is best than prashant more, but he plays in a hurry like his girl is waiting or he will miss his flite for canada. Louis sir, please play calmly, no one can beat you. You have so much of caliber.
I don’t have a clue what this is, but the Canadian flag in the bottom left corner of the thumb nail caught my eye, and since I’m Canadian, go Canada guy!!🇨🇦
This is also quite popular in Indonesia especially with the middle-aged men in suburbs. We add ball to the name tho, so we call it Karambol (Carrom-ball)
Excellent game played by both the players. Mr Fernandes's accuracy in shot execution was probably better but technically Mr Prashant was always better and in my opinion, he won because of all round better performance, may it be shot selection, shot execution, technically. Breaks by both the players were marvellous, lovable.
Never seen or heard of this before, seemingly like a lot of other people here, but pretty sure we'll all be seeing each other soon after days of Carrom binging.

I've never heard of this game before. It looks pretty fun. A lot like pool kind of.
