Board Game Set — Large Board Games for Adults & Children — Over 85 Board Games for Family Game Night — All in One Board Game Set

OMFG!!! This is a throwback to elementary school!!! I forgot how much I loved this game until I was teaching my family how to play. Memories flooded back of carrom pieces flying around on indoor recess days. I can almost hear the teacher yelling, “Don’t shoot them that hard! Someone will get hurt!” There is nothing like the distinct smack of a carrom piece being flicked hard and clanking around the board. The quality is decent, but it is just plywood. The print on the board is perfection. It’s pretty enough to keep set up in your living room. Once we started playing, it was a no holds barred competition with Marquess of Queensbury Rules. Just kidding… I have no idea what the actual rules are and have no desire to learn. We played with mostly remembered rules from my childhood. What I couldn't remember, I just filled in on my own. There’s no reading rule books are our house!! We had brackets going, cheerleaders, and a referee. It went into a sudden death round for the championship title. As soon as we were done, everyone wanted to start playing again. I had to take it from them and put it on a high shelf guarded by several toddlers I bribed with sugar. This was hours and hours of family fun. I’m so glad we made this purchase

My husband had been talking about this game from his childhood! I ordered one from a different seller and when it arrived it was not as described. I ordered this one and when it arrived it was perfect! Just as he remembers from his childhood. The quality is great, and I am confident this will be in our family game closet for years to come! A great game board, that is well enough made it will hold up for years! Fun for all ages!

I had thought the shooting sticks were not included, but I found them. I'm pleased with this purchase.

Wish it came with shooters! But still a fun game... from the 80s Bought for $129.99

I found out about this game while scrolling through IG and someone I follow was at home playing Carrom with her family. I thought it was a cool looking game so I went on YouTube and found videos to learn how to play it. It reminds me of a mix between a game the boys on the block used to play years ago called Tops (if you choose to use your fingers). It’s also like tabletop Pool. I chose this one because it has a bunch of other games to play. The quality is amazing. Very sturdy. Another person who reviewed this complained that the corners are plastic, those are covers so that your table won’t get scratched and if you’re using the side with the checker board then the other side facing down has little wooden pronges that’s needed for another game. So the plastic corners serve a purpose and so the board won’t slide all over the place. This pic was from this evening, myself and my nephew working on our skills because this was our first time playing it. I can’t say enough great things about this game board and I highly recommend it especially during this pandemic when we’re all getting back to basics and learning all over again how to enjoy family time together the old fashioned way.

Like many other reviewers, I grew up playing carrom. The board my parents had is long gone, and I decided to try one of these, instead. I've had it five years now, and it has held up well. When I was a kid, the "buttons" (as we called them) were made of wood. Then they went to plastic, but they were too heavy, and tended to break. The plastic buttons in this set are just about the right weight, and seem to be made of a lot more durable plastic. I tried to break one of the shooters (white) by shooting it as hard as I could against the sides of the board, and it took everything I had. The one deficiency I saw when it was new, was that the sides of the board were not solid enough to give a good rebound to the buttons. This is because the sides are not glued to the board itself. A simple fix, just squeeze carpenter's glue into the joint between the board and sides, allowing it to run down into the joint. When it dries, the sides will be solid, and the buttons will bounce much better. Do one side at a time, and let the glue set up, before moving to another side. Also, a light coat of furniture wax (like Johnsons paste wax), applied and buffed, will improve the action of the buttons greatly. All in all, a good product, for the money.

My grandparents had one of these in the 70’s and it was the center of every game we played. Checkers, dominoes, and cards. I couldn’t believe the company was still making them and in the USA. The quality is outstanding, the paint design classic and quality. We’ve been playing Carrom and Crokinole games, checkers, dominoes, cards, Yahtzee, and others on it. The edges are so handy at keeping game pieces from falling off.

Fue un regalo para un adulto mayor, le encantó su acabado de madera y su diseño,.

Me llegó perfectamente, estoy feliz

Este tablero equivalente a un juguete para niños, es agradable a la vista y quizá una buena opción conocer o darse una idea de cómo jugar Carrom o Crokinole, utilizarse esporádicamente o entretener a los niños. El juego es sí de ambos es muy divertido y fácil de aprender, pero para aquellos que ya conocen estos juegos y han podido jugarlos en tableros de calidad, van a quedar decepcionados, lo cual es de esperarse por el precio, por desgracia no existen muchas opciones donde conseguir estos juegos en nuestro país, debido a que son poco conocidos. No es un tablero que vaya a durar mucho con el uso. Está fabricado con cartón prensado, que tiende a pandearse del centro durante el juego, y es muy fácil de que la superficie se raye o dañe. Si llegara a tener contacto con el agua es muy probable que se deteriore rápidamente. Ni las dimensiones, diseño, materiales, sensación de juego o desplazamiento de las fichas se parecen en nada a un verdadero tablero de Carrom o Crokinole. Aun considerando su bajo costo, lo devolví por el problema que tiene por falta de rigidez y de pandearse al centro mientras se juega Carrom. De la misma forma, la parte posterior para jugar Crokinole es casi inservible por la falta de profundidad del agujero central.

El juego está bastante bien para el precio, pero tiene ciertos detalles como que las fichas están más pequeñas de lo que deberían, los hoyos de las esquinas son más grandes de lo que deberían y el hoyo central del crokinole no tiene prácticamente nada de profundidad. Pero en general, lo recomiendo :)
