 Fun NostalgiaMay 14, 2008
I loved playing this as a child and now I enjoy teaching my daughter how to play. It is similar to pool or billiards only with rings instead of balls. This game is a lot of fun for 7-10 year olds and some nostalgic adults. This set is very versatile and has many different games you could learn. I have only played carrom. The quality is about what you expect for the price. The game is great fun!

 it's ok but not greatMar 04, 2008
because it's so many games in one this board is a bit confusing. also, they do not provide you with extra pieces so if you lose a piece the game is done.

 Quality, old fashioned fun!Jan 14, 2008
Because he thoroughly enjoyed playing his uncle's game (the same one we played as kids, which is still in good shape, and is used frequently at Grammy's house), we got the Large Carrom Board for our 8 year old son for Christmas. It has been very successful, and has garnered interest much longer and stronger than any of the electronic toys he has. Strong wooden/plastic construction, good quality game pieces, fairly clear directions and lots of room for creativity and interaction in play. Plus, it's fun!

Good Quality board & piecesSep 14, 2007
This is exactly what I expected from a starter Carrom/Crokinole board. With the bonus of having a variety of different games to play when/if you tire of the aforementioned 2.
The board is of fairly heavy ply with veneer or some sort of laminate to give the surface a nice flat, warp free surface(on both sides). I did however, (lightly)rub in some standard furniture polish to reduce the friction of the Carrom men(pieces). And this worked fantastically. The board is surrounded by a raised impact plastic covering. That both serves as a rebound edge and to protect the board when stored or in tranasit.The nettings for the pockets is descent and should withstand years of regular use.
The Carrom men(pieces) are of high quality plastic. And have a good heft to them considering what they are. They rebound and deflect off the other pieces pretty convincingly.
Also included are: Cue sticks(wooden dowels with a plastic tip), pins(for some of the games - ie. Bowling stile or skittles), lightweight plastic tops used for games like Skittles. Paper inserts(#1-15) that are cut and placed within the hollow centers of the Carrom pieces for a few of the Carrom game variations provided in the game manual. The manual itself is a compact, single fold/stapled affair. The rules are clear for most games. And a little short of description, so you may find, if unfamiliar with a few of the games, that a couple of read throughs may be necessary.
If this is your first set, or are thinking of buying a set for the "Rest" of the family or "kids" then this is a great, low-cost way to do it.
