Carrom Board Game Set — Large Board Games for Adults & Children — Over 85 Board Games for Family Game Night — All in One Board Game Set

Like many other reviewers, I grew up playing carrom. The board my parents had is long gone, and I decided to try one of these, instead. I've had it five years now, and it has held up well. When I was a kid, the "buttons" (as we called them) were made of wood. Then they went to plastic, but they were too heavy, and tended to break. The plastic buttons in this set are just about the right weight, and seem to be made of a lot more durable plastic. I tried to break one of the shooters (white) by shooting it as hard as I could against the sides of the board, and it took everything I had. The one deficiency I saw when it was new, was that the sides of the board were not solid enough to give a good rebound to the buttons. This is because the sides are not glued to the board itself. A simple fix, just squeeze carpenter's glue into the joint between the board and sides, allowing it to run down into the joint. When it dries, the sides will be solid, and the buttons will bounce much better. Do one side at a time, and let the glue set up, before moving to another side. Also, a light coat of furniture wax (like Johnsons paste wax), applied and buffed, will improve the action of the buttons greatly. All in all, a good product, for the money.

I found out about this game while scrolling through IG and someone I follow was at home playing Carrom with her family. I thought it was a cool looking game so I went on YouTube and found videos to learn how to play it. It reminds me of a mix between a game the boys on the block used to play years ago called Tops (if you choose to use your fingers). It’s also like tabletop Pool. I chose this one because it has a bunch of other games to play. The quality is amazing. Very sturdy. Another person who reviewed this complained that the corners are plastic, those are covers so that your table won’t get scratched and if you’re using the side with the checker board then the other side facing down has little wooden pronges that’s needed for another game. So the plastic corners serve a purpose and so the board won’t slide all over the place. This pic was from this evening, myself and my nephew working on our skills because this was our first time playing it. I can’t say enough great things about this game board and I highly recommend it especially during this pandemic when we’re all getting back to basics and learning all over again how to enjoy family time together the old fashioned way.

Gave it as a gift to my grandson who is 8. I remembered my brothers having one just like it when they were about his age and the really enjoyed it. It is made really well. I enjoyed playing a game with him. You can use sticks or your fingers and we both decided to use our fingers. His mother will teach him to play the100 games on it in time

I played Carroms when I was a kid and it was a hoot. I bought a board in the 1990's or so and had a lot of fun with it...I don't know what happened to that one. This new one might not be the quality of the 60's ones I grew up with...but then, they had to be better built to withstand the rigors of daily childhood play... I did buy two real VanLan 3-foot cues. The "cues" supplied with the board are just 2-foot wooden dowels with plastic tips...good enough for kids but unsatisfactory for adults. The plastic rings are still good quality and the board resounds with that solid "click" when you sink a hard-hit shot.I guess you could play the 100+ games they claim, but who cares? "Carroms" is what I grew up with and I still abide by all the arcane rules I learned back then. It is a loosey-goosey pool game on a short table and it is still as fun as I remember. Come over and play!

Truly a game for all ages.1. Nurtures eye-hand coordination.2. Boosts problem solving skills.3. Subtle geometry lessons.4. Improve focus, concentration.5. Enhance cognitive skills, reasoning.Relax or have friendly competition while improving your mind. Build tactical skills and foresight. Knocking wooden pieces around the board is pretty satisfying, too.Very well made. Durable.Great design and colorOnly drawback: short sticks. Bought pair of longer carrom sticks and it's easier for adults to play.Very highly recommended.

Shipping = Excellent. Packaging = Excellent (well protected). Quality = Excellent. Quality vs Price = Excellent. Longevity Quality = Unknown, just received today (however, based on the sturdiness of its structure and quality of materials, I can see this set lasting for many years, especially if it is taken care of).

I look forward to creating more memories with this set :DVery Happy with this purchase!

Fantastic; same quality board as the one I had 50 years ago. Arrive on time but the packing could be better, and box should be marked "Do not stack heavy items on top" purchase for 7 grand children ages 5 to 16.
