Carrom Board used to be one of our favorite indoor games during summer vacation. Due to heat, we couldn't go and play out. So, we used to gather at a friend's house every morning to play the game. Four people could play at a time and we desperately tried to get the red/pink discs. How to play it? There is a board with four holes in four corners. We have to try to drop the smaller dices into the holes by trying to push them with a striker(a larger disc).. The larger disc shouldn't fall in the hole in that process.. That's the trick... It needs skills to use the striker like that.. The red disc has the maximum points. Did you like playing Carrom Board? For more information, check this site. Picture is from google images
