by | Last Updated
Carrom is one of the most popular games in India which can be played both at the professional level as well as for fun.
There are a huge variety of carrom boards available in the market based upon the size and many other parameters. However, there are many things to consider before buying these.
In this article, we will provide you with some tips to buy the right carrom board for your needs, and also showcase the best range of carrom boards available in India right now.
What to look for in a carrom board?
Some of the major things to consider before buying a carrom board are —
Size: This is one of the most important factors for buying a carrom board.
These boards are available in small, medium and large sizes.
The larger ones are best suited for offices or clubs, while the medium one is best for your home. Smaller ones are for the kids so that they could easily learn the basics of the game.
Frame: The frame of the board should be such that you can strike the striker with ease.
There are different types of frames available in the market, so choose the one which can easily support your hand during the striking, that is, you should be able to strike the striker with more power.
Surface: The board should be made of a smooth surface to get a smooth and more precise sliding of the coins.
The carrom powder that is usually available along with all the carrom boards can be applied during the game to get a smoother experience. However, the surface which is by default smooth is always favourable.
Branded boards: If you are looking for boards which have a long life span, then the branded carrom boards are the ideal ones.
They will provide you with all the essential features along with a great life span.
Now that we know what makes a carrom board perfect, it's time to take a look at some of the best carrom boards in India. In the below section, I've captured the specifications of these tables in a tabular format so that you can compare them easily.

Which carrom board should you go for?
These are some of the best carrom boards in India that are worth the money. You can go for the one according to your preference.
Large and heavy ones (35-inch frame with weight above 20 kg) are usually preferred by the professionals. For casual games and beginner to intermediate level players, the medium-sized carrom boards (32-35 inch frame with weight under 10 kg) are the most suitable ones.
So, if you want to play carrom professionally, I would recommend KD's Carrom Board. Its board is made from premium-quality Birch plywood, and it offers a very stable gameplay due to its heaviness.
For beginner to intermediate level players, and for those who just want to have a fun time with their friends and family, Korners' 35-Inch Carrom Board would be my ideal choice. Its frame is wider than others in the same cateogry, giving you sufficient area to rest your hands comfortably when taking shots. Also, it weighs only 10 kg, which will allow you to move it from one place to another easily.
If you are still not confident regarding which carrom board you should go for, I would recommend revisiting the features table shared earlier. It will allow you to easily compare the features that are important to you, and then you can decide accordingly.
