@@NevilleBamshu23 that’s what I was really thinking- it’s like a mini version of some type of snooker or pool game. And clearly a huge influence on the air hockey table game. And also reminds me of table shuffleboard the way they use that really fine sand or whatever it is to make the pieces slide down the table. Looks like in this game they are using some sort of talcum powder. I need to watch a video to learn all the rules and strategy. Looks fun though for sure- these dudes making it look easy I’m sure tho!
its been many many years since ive touched carrom. I have never ever watched a professional match before. glad i did and I'm just blown away at how smooth and precise these players make a move.
I've never heard of, let alone seen this game before today. Bought a board 10mins into the video (this is the 2nd video I've watched.) Can't wait to play!!
The board seems to be super smooth and the smoothness seemed better handled by Prashanth. Though Nishantha being an all round player, I am ardent fan of his innovative double ideas, he could not perform against Prashanth every time they met. Well played and congrats to Prashanth and wish better luck next time to Nishantha. Carrom ICF could have taken better efforts for the video recording of this match as the video quality was very poor, could watch many crucial moments, also no display of scores. Anyway thanks for recording such a wonderful match between two great stalwarts of carrom world, it is always a treat to watch the game of Nishantha.
My Dad bought a Carrom Board back in the 50s (before I was born). I've got it now, and 70 years later, when my S.O. and I have her family over at Memorial Day and Labor Day, it comes out and we play. Ditto for the table-top hockey game I got for Christmas 1963 (still works perfectly).
Carom is neat. I've never played it in person, but I very much want to. There is a mobile game for Carom which is decent, but much like virtual pool is vastly different from the RL thing.
Another version of pool- i like it! You don't need those expensive pool tables and sticks. Seems like a really great game! Thanks for the video introducing me to this neat game :D

My dad brought up our carrom board that exist since my chilhood. Such a fun playing this with my little nieces and nephew, the new generation. Brings lots of laughter as the kids shouts anime chants like gum gum pistolll, pika pikachuu whenever their turn to strike. So funny 😂😂 We use lots of talcum powder but still our board not smooth like this Lol
this is the second time ive seen this game. Is there a "best" brand out there that makes professional level tables? I cannot find much on what "regulation" sizes are. Would seem its a mix of table size AND "puck" size. forgive my ignorance on the subject. Hoping to add one to my game room for a more relaxed play than pool, superchexx, golden tee, ping pong and air hockey!
@@timothyletwin5911 Bar games in rural English pubs can be in this idiom. I remember playing a three foot sloped table with wooden mushrooms and holes in the middle. It was actually good fun.
Growing up as a kid we had a 4 person Carom table. In the 4 corners instead of a hole, ours had netted pockets. Instead of 'checker' type pieces, our pieces were thick plastic rings. My middle finger was always sore after playing. Our table also came with small pool cues that could be used for a different kind of game. Fun, fun, fun.
I just came here to feel the carrom I played when I was young. I was so lost that I forgot how real carrom was after watching too much carrom king on TH-cam.
OMG! We had a carrom board as kids in the 1970's in Ohio. Just a fun and creative multipurpose game board. Never knew it was a precious sport in any Country? Also, I had a game with a bunch of different sized poker chips that was rectangular shaped where it had a massive amount of games, Chief among them was the hickey game where you flicked one chip between two other chips to score goals. I remember blue and red poker chips. There was two diamond obstacles right in front if the goal to block easy scoring. It was a great simple strategy game you didn't even need two players to enjoy playing it! Memories! Memories! Why this video came up in my feed I have noooo idea (I was watching political videos)? But my mind is just so happy that this reminded me of the game. Somehow the number 151 is in my head too? Was it the Carrom game or the hockey game?
Wow, I did not think people played Carrom really anymore, It was a thing in America for a while back in the 60s and 70s It was a fun family game we used to play.
I questioned watching this after seeing them "shake" hands, and here I am an hour later pulling for shots to go in haha. How do I acquire a table like this!??
It's normally used to end the game player should board the red one with their colour ones. If you couldn't put your colour one after the red one, red piece come to the center circle again
This looks like a fun game to learn. I've seen a bigger board where the players use rings to shoot, and the pieces move easily like on an air hockey table.
We played a similar game on the streets of Brooklyn called Skellies. Bottle caps filled with candle wax and 15 boxes painte in chalk on the tar street. Great fun as a kid!
I've never seen this game before, but noticed there's 19 tokens in the middle. Wouldn't having and odd number of tokens give one side or the other and advantage?
Used to play this as a kid in Bangladesh. Used to get owned by the adults and older kids. Moved to the west before I became a teen. In nearly 25 years here; I haven't even heard this game mentioned. It's super fun to play. Boric powder for the smoothness is hard to find though.
I didn't know what this was 5 minutes ago. Now I NEED this in my life.
Same thing JUST happened to me 🤣🤣 I’m trying to get into this….
Really fun game..the predecessor to snooker..

lol dude
hahahahhaha
No shit.
its been many many years since ive touched carrom. I have never ever watched a professional match before. glad i did and I'm just blown away at how smooth and precise these players make a move.
India needs to promote carrom internationally.. East to west.. North south
Perhaps there's a reason why this 'sport' isn't played anywhere in the world.
@@renemartin5729 Yes, you need skill
It used to pretty well-known game in America for a while back in the 60s and 70s It was a fun family game we used to play.
this is the stupidest game I've ever seen.
Agreed. Carrom is more fascinating than Snooker.
Anyone else actually searched for this instead of being randomly recommended?
I got several carrom videos with random pakistani and indian men in my insta feed so I checked out the rules and now I'm watching this match lol
I searched it
I am indian i play it so i search for it
I used to play carom often when I was a child. It was fun.
I got here chosen by algorithm. Didn't even know this game existed.
I've never heard of, let alone seen this game before today. Bought a board 10mins into the video (this is the 2nd video I've watched.) Can't wait to play!!
If u r from outside asia then its pretty obvious u would not be knowing
@@kaushalmaithi6019you do know that the boards are made in English right? Meaning not just Asia plays this game.
yes, I might do the same. it looks like fun.
Awesome game spent many an hour playin in a chai shop on the beach in india..love it i have my own board here in the u.k.
The definition of a ridiculous impulse buy and something that will be collecting dust, in the garage for years. Congrats! 🫤
I don’t even know which way he’s about to flick it. Gets me every time.
He’s known as the Michael Jordan of Carrom with his signature no look shots.
The board seems to be super smooth and the smoothness seemed better handled by Prashanth.

Carrom is one of those games that definitely looks a lot easier than it really is.
Nah. Def looks like a game that if i try it, i flick that disk off the table and in some onlooker's eye.
Your hand shiver at extreme pressure points
Never seen or heard of this game until this video popped up
And how is it
@@speedytort7384 looks interesting. I’d like to learn how to play it.

duckpin bowlings fun too
Hahaha I got the candle pin bowling yesterday 😂
I'm going to have to check out candlepin bowling now... :)

Why have I never heard of this game? And why is it not huge in America. My young nephews would love to play this.

Better than Snooker.

Good luck Lions, Nishantha, bring victory to Sri Lanka
What an Opening and What a Game by India!! Awesome!!

Special powder being used which is not talcum, but usually boric acid powder. Research carom board powder, many available.
21:29 what a shot!
22:05 runs the board!
Never heard of this game before this video but now I’m hooked.
It’s called Carrom and this is the world championship
can't you add the scoreboard?
They're not technosavy
And ll nd ly this is not an international tournament
@@pankajdhargalkar736 its international tournament.. Do u think srilanka is in india?
I skipped because of your comment!
Nope
I thought you are not allowed to strike it backwards from your strike line?
You should add tha scorecard in your all videos
It's actually amazingto see that so many people didn't know about carrom
Could someone please send Amazon link for this exact premium carrom board used?
Many thanks in advance.
This video came in my timeline and i watched the whole video for no reason

Bhai is carrom borad ka size kya hai ?
4.7 SQ feet
29" 29"
Congrats Prasanth🎉 , omg man excellent slam , miserably played . Better luck Nishanth . Well played
Classic Prashant 💯🔥
What game is this and there is a championship for this. Miniature ice hockey+ snooker?
Carrom board...it's a popular indoor game in South Asia.
I have never seen this game before. It looks good. Are there variations?
It's name carrom and variation ?
Another version uses short pool cues 16" I believe instead of a striker.
@@timothyletwin5911 Bar games in rural English pubs can be in this idiom. I remember playing a three foot sloped table with wooden mushrooms and holes in the middle. It was actually good fun.

What size board is this please and who makes it .thankyou ..

Why score board is not displayed, while viewing the match 😢
I need to buy a board! This looks so fun!
I used to play on one of these boards as a child...had numerous games on either side. Didn't know how to play or any rules but it sure was fun!
Is there a world championship for Carrom? I know India and sri Lanka major on Carrom. And of course southeast Asia countries also play Carrom.
According to the official rules you cannot play backwards or sideways, only forwards; is this a different ruleset?
Congratulations Prashant 💐 Very well played sir 👍
Which size board are they playing on?
Scores ???
Wow first time to see this. What is this game? It's like billiards but using the hands.
Carrom
Where is score board????? Look like m watching gully tournament
You can count yourself 😁😁

Who knew. I had one of these tables when I was a kid. Back in the 60’s. The discs were plastic rings. Green and Red.
I had one of those back then as well. Mine had rings also but I think they were wooden.
I thought you weren't allowed to put the white stone onto the red dots when shooting?
Those are called balls, ends of the base lines. You're allowed to play from there, being the last ends of the baseline.
Please add scores
May I know the size of this carrom board
Whats the reason with the darker red one?
It's normally used to end the game player should board the red one with their colour ones. If you couldn't put your colour one after the red one, red piece come to the center circle again
This looks like a fun game to learn. I've seen a bigger board where the players use rings to shoot, and the pieces move easily like on an air hockey table.
Not sure what's happened, I somehow ended up watching techball now this at 3 in the morning. Is this finger snooker?
who won? i didnt watch complete
We played a similar game on the streets of Brooklyn called Skellies. Bottle caps filled with candle wax and 15 boxes painte in chalk on the tar street. Great fun as a kid!
I am really surprised that carrom is just the game of Indian subcontinent.😮
And not beyond
Someone heard the sound in background...at 5.54 .... So elegant so beautiful its like a wow 😂😂😂....wah kya chal rha h 😅😅 5:53
This is the ultimate version of every game we made up in school!! ❤
Does a Zamboni machine come out at half-time and resurface the playing board?
Last part of the video quality is not good
What's the prize pool?
Is that a match board!
Are these strikers are of a special quality n brand?please let me know.
Prashant Sir .. congratulations well played
What kind of powder u guys are using?
Dancing powder
I've never seen this game before, but noticed there's 19 tokens in the middle. Wouldn't having and odd number of tokens give one side or the other and advantage?
when breaking off, no one has potted anything yet, so Im guessing 19 fits in the circle best.. im guessing, I dunno!
red piece does not belong to black or white team
