The Carrom game, also known as finger billiards, requires both technical and tactical skill from its players. At the beginning, all the game pieces are placed in a predetermined formation in the center of the Carrom board. Each player then tries to sink their game pieces into one of the pockets. The striker is flicked with the finger from the baseline. Each successful shot entitles the player to another attempt. The winner is the one who first pockets all their colored game pieces.
