What is Carrom?
Carrom is a board game where you flick a striker to knock coins into four corner pockets. In Classic, you race to sink your nine coins and cover the red queen. In Points, every piece scores for whoever sinks it. On Dashain, 2–4 players share one board online, alone or in teams of two.
