we had this game at home in germany. my father brought it home when he travelled abroad in 1991. i never new it was from india, and i never knew it was that popular. awesome game, awesome community!
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.
8th ICF Carrom Cup India Pune AICF MCA PCA PYC GYMKHANA PUNE MS Pre Quarter Louis Fernandes Canada Vs Prashant More India Played Extremely Superb Accurate Extraordinary Excellent Game By Both The Players . In Fact Louis Played 1st Set Extremely Courageous And Confidently With Tremendous Accuracy Perfect Coin Selection And So 1st Board With Black Slam And 2nd Board Immediately White Slam By Louis Really Appreciated And Hat's Off To Him . But Prashant Being A World Champions His Speciality To Overcome In Adverse Situations To Convert Favourable With A Stroke And Again He Proved With High Levels of Defence And Offensive Game And Consists Straight Two Sets Victory .Congrats Prashant And Ultimate Extremely Well Played By Louis And Thanks To MCA For Posting This Wonderful 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,
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...
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...
@@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?

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 ! 💯💯
@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.
@@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?
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 ❤
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 just got here I don’t know how. But it’s 5am and Im not mad. It was very interesting. Thanks UA-cam algorithm. Now next video suggestion, Goat races. You never disappoint UA-cam.
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
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.
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).
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.
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.
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.
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 ..
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. ❤️
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.
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
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.
What tha heck did I just watch 😂 lololol, first time in my life i found out about this game, probably the rarest thing UA-cam recommended to me. Fun game tho 😎👍
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)

I've never heard of this game before. It's crazy how many games there are out there, and there's a tournament for each of them!
Being playing since I was a child. I’m 59 now. Born in London, live in Australia now. Enjoy.
I always dreamt of someone saying i have never seen this game before , while carrom was a good part of me growing up.
Indian game 🎮🎮🎯🎯
its a big board game in indian subcontinent..and now becoming popular in many parts of world slowly

2D Billiards for the win! This is incredible!!! Thank you for sharing!
I have no clue what this game is or its rules but I see a lot of good sportsmanship which is a beautiful thing. Definitely interested now.
You can download rules from International Carrom Foundation
Getting my first Carrom board soon with my christamas money! Can't wait!

It's a wonderful game one can play at any age......I really enjoy the game
Congratulations Prashant very well Played, you are excellent player, Louis you Played excellent, you are a very good player, hard luck this time.

I love the sportsmanship. Of what are the pieces made? Is the edge of the table rigid or flexible?
They are rigid and made of wood, but extremely light. The table is also wood, or at least the one I played many years ago was wood, and is rigid.
Championship boards are heavy and needs two people to lift it at least. Coins are made of wood
