This is a new game to me and I assumed it was a sub-contintental trend and there are some theories that it did originate in this part of the world as mentioned in this historical account; but as I have since discovered, Carrom is quite popular in varying locales. There are Carrom Federations in Australia, Japan, Canada, as well as many other countries.

I watched for a short time and determined that four players are required and the aim of the game is to use the yellow disc to get the other discs into the pockets. And that was as far as my deliberations reached. I could not work out the strategies for moving and positioning the yellow disc to aim for the discs. If you are interested in the rules, please check out the Wikipedia entry.
