Is your family game night stuck in a rut? If you're tired of Monopoly arguments or just staring at another screen. Is everyone too locked in to hold a conversation? Here are our five reason we think Carrom is the answer:
1. Anyone Can Play—Instantly You don’t need to read a giant rulebook. The idea is simple: flick your striker, hit your pieces, and get them in the pockets. Kids (and my parents!) understand it in about 30 seconds. Everyone can have fun right away.
2. It Gets Everyone to Put Their Phones Down This is my favorite part. As soon as the board is out, the phones go away. No screens, no batteries. It’s a chance to just hang out and do something together in the real world.
3. It’s Fun to Actually Talk! You'll be surprised at how much you laugh. There’s cheering for an awesome shot, groaning when you just miss, and a lot of fun, friendly trash talk. It’s just nice to be around the table connecting.
4. It’s a "Chill" Kind of Exciting It’s not a loud, crazy game, but it gets surprisingly intense! You find yourself really focusing on lining up the perfect shot. It’s a great mix of skill and strategy that keeps both kids and adults hooked.
5. It’s a Classic for a Reason This isn't some new fad. Carrom has been around forever. There’s something special about playing a game that you might have played as a kid. It’s simple, timeless, and just plain fun.
