subject: The Essential Requirements Of Carrom Game [print this page] As how water is essential for plants, similarly the game of carrom has some essential requirements and without those requirements, this board game cannot be played. What are those requirements? If I put forward this question, most of you give answers like carrom board, coins and strikers. Yes, of course these are essential to play this indoor game and no one can disagree with this, but there are also some other requirements, let us see those things in the end of this article. First, let us see the main requirements like boards, coins and strikers. The carrom board is made of wooden materials and it is standardized carrom equipment that is normally made with 29 inch square playing surface.
The quality of board decides the victory of player and the idea behind this board would have come driven from this logic. This idea would have aroused from the dice game that is played during ancient times. During ancient times, there were no television and less preference was given to entertainment activities and people during those times only play indoor games. The logic of the dice games is as follows; they roll the dice down and have two coins on the surface of land or draw some lines on wooden board and place the coins over there. To make their entertainment activity as fun one, they interchanged some rules and ideas and then found a board called carrom board. But of course this is simply my guess, because some relationship exists between these two games.
If you think that there were no different varieties in boards, then you would have been misguided, generally there are different varieties of boards available and they are 3 Star Amateur Carrom Board, Club Board, Extreme Training Board, Hexagonal, Jumbo Training Board and 5 Star Training Carrom Boards. Based on your skills, you can buy the type of board you need. The next essential carrom equipment is the coins and totally 19 coins are needed and these coins are available in boxes as a set and buy those coins in box so that you might not loss it. Just like boards, there are different types of coins available and select the type that well suits the game.
Strikers are the next essential requirement to play carrom game and we can compare these two equipments like two single gentlemen rolled into one. Friends are like melons; shall I tell you why? To find one good you must one hundred try. Goes the saying by Claude Mermet In the same way you may have to try fifty before you find a good stricker and the strikers you buy should be smooth, heavy and round with a diameter not more than 4.13 cm. You can find different types of strikers in market with different colors and sizes. These are the main requirements of this board game and as I mentioned above, there are some other carrom accessories available and these accessories protects the board and safeguard them. Carrom board cover, carrom stand, carrom powder, replacement mesh and score counter are the other requirements of this board game. Use these board game accessories in a proper way and enjoy this indoor game with fun and excitement.
