@@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!
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!!
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.
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.
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 UA-cam.
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
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.
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!
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!??
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?
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.
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 understand this sport intuitively from playing billiards at a high level. you can tell their intentions and when they're going to use the cue to make a shot and simultaneously break up other clusters or move object pucks in more desirable spots. 23:16 what a great "carrom" shot here
Well you can tell this isn’t in the United States not because the announcer isn’t speaking English but because here there would be a beer and an ashtray on the rim of the board and the board would have a big advertisement from Johnsonville brats.
Now I understand why my friend in office told me that the powder on the board is very less. But I am still not sure why my childhood friends used to say that playing behind the line is foul🤙😂
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.

No shit.
I didn't know what this was 5 minutes ago. Now I NEED this in my life.

Man... I'm right there with you folks. This looks like a heck of a game.
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 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.
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.
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! 🫤
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
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.
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.
How did I even get up here 😂
Bali gunar Prashant! 🇮🇳

Thanks. That was awesome.❤
How i randomly came across this idk, never seen this sport b4, i like it
Better than Snooker.
1 am, with this vid now I know I entered the UA-cam rabbit hole.

What an Opening and What a Game by India!! Awesome!!
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
Congrats Prasanth🎉 , omg man excellent slam , miserably played . Better luck Nishanth . Well played

Special powder being used which is not talcum, but usually boric acid powder. Research carom board powder, many available.
Class players ko khelte dekhna bahut hi different hai. Excellent display of skill by both the players. Learners can learn a lot from their game.

world best player
Good luck Lions, Nishantha, bring victory to Sri Lanka
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.

@ICF why no Live Proper Live Stream of Matches
Very bad😔
No good WiFi Ashraf..
Another legend 😅 comments
I didn't even know there was a world championship for carrom
How did I even get here 😂
No idea how I got here as well but this looks kind of cool. Reminds me of billiards and air hockey 😊
Wow! I have not seen this game in years. Look a lot different than when I was a kid.
Are u not from Asia? From USA?
@@kaushalmaithi6019 USA
I am really surprised that carrom is just the game of Indian subcontinent.😮
And not beyond
We grew up playing this board game in South Africa. We call it finger board
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.
Never seen or heard of this before. Mix of crokinole and billiards? Looks fun!
Classic Prashant 💯🔥
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!
You should add tha scorecard in your all videos
Prashant we played first board I impressed very much on your game
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!

memories of manali and carrom back in 97
The only memory I have of Manali is the charras
@@renemartin5729 yep and the fresh air having come down from Ladakh.
What in the hell did I search that popped this up in my recommended videos. UA-cam is a crazy place! But now I must have this finger pool board
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.
Congratulations Prashant 💐 Very well played sir 👍
Would play a version of this in Brooklyn, with bottle caps filled with wax for weight. The game was called 'Skully'.
This is the ultimate version of every game we made up in school!! ❤
from my ig feed to my yt fyp, the algorithm truly knows what i want
Most underrated sport 🙌
Up there with darts, chess and poker for the most physically demanding for sure
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!??
Never seen this game before in my life. However, it does look interesting.
I need to buy a board! This looks so fun!

I can't believe that international championship Carrom is played without bong rips.
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.
Sirs, this was very well played.
All the excitement of crokinole with none of the performances enhancing scandals.......

My dad bought me a carrom board when I was a kid. Time to buy my kids one.
This reminds me of the epic world championship finale 1973
1972 s. Dilli chennai carrom player
Someone heard the sound in background...at 5.54 .... So elegant so beautiful its like a wow 😂😂😂....wah kya chal rha h 😅😅 5:53
Awwwwww yeah, I'm on the "Tabletop skill/physics game" part of UA-cam again. 😎
My dad bought this game from India I love playing as a kid with him

23:16 what a great "carrom" shot here
3:22 that was sick
Their manicures must cost a fortune.
Childhood nostalgia when we actually communicated with people played with friend's and family. Now it's all smartphone
No one but me watching this during exam ..knowing thst i have zero prepararion
Carrom is more exciting than Snooker. Its like chess mixed with air hockey mixed with Billiards. Lots of strategy in Carrom.
It's reminds me of a mini billiards set or mini air hockey. Very cool! I wanna play!
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
This was a thing in Germany in the 90s. You could get those boards anywhere. It disappeared after a year or two.
Congratulations Prasant india 🏆
Well you can tell this isn’t in the United States not because the announcer isn’t speaking English but because here there would be a beer and an ashtray on the rim of the board and the board would have a big advertisement from Johnsonville brats.
Reminds me of air hockey in the 70's arcades
Never seen this before YT recommended. Gave a bit of asmr for me

Wicked!! Looks like a good time. It looks like billiards meets shuffleboard.
Another ancient game originated out of India just like Chess , but for some reason unlike chess this hasn’t spreaded internationally yet
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.
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!
Why is the table not as smooth as the one used by the Carom king?
Because carom king use a carom board that has a thin glass on it 😂 sometimes he uses magic powder to make it way smoother
For non indians, i bet u here because king carrom
Here in Indonesia have rules cannot direct hit except at own territory 👍🙂more challenging
In India we also have this same rule but i think these rules are not for tournaments...
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.
For the record I did not search for this. I guess I do like checkers, air hockey and pool so I kind of see what youtube did there.
Never seen it before, would certainly have a go though.
It’s like a mix of curling and billiards but with your fingers 😂
