apart from the carrom board itself, one would normally get to see the following equipment when a game is on.
carrommen − the carrommen are circular pieces of wood colored black, white, and red. there are nine black, nine white, and one red (queen) carrommen on a board. |
 |
striker − this is also a circular piece, normally made of plastic that is used to strike the carrommen. a striker is bigger in dimension than a carrommen. |
 |
net − each corner hole is covered from beneath by nets fixed at the bottom of the carrom board. |
 |
powder − a unique powder made of boric acid is sprayed on the board for players to flick and pocket the carrommen smoothly with the striker. |
 |
stand − the carrom board is placed on a stand so that the game can be played at a comfortable height without the players having to bend their back too much. |
 |
light − a light is hung over the board for better visibility and it produces heat that ensures the powder doesnât stick to the board. |
