Welcome to Toogoods Games. We make and sell high quality hand made wooden boards for the game of Carrom. If you want to buy a carrom board, or find out more about the game, you’ve come to right place.

Carrom originated in India several centuries ago and is now very popular in the UK. It is the ancestor of pool, snooker and billiards. Carrom is played with counters and you flick the pieces into the pockets using a striker.

Children as young as seven can pick the game up easily. It is also played seriously all over Asia, with international tournaments for cash prizes. The game is sometimes referred to as finger billiards and is described by some as a cross between shove ha'penny and pool.

Our boards are handmade by us in the UK. They are oiled many times to make the pieces slide easily. The designs are screen printed onto the wood. There is no need to powder a Toogood Carrom board.

The boards are made from the highest grade plywood from Eastern Europe with a white Ash frame. The playing surface is 760mm square.

We make three types of Carrom board, Standard, Special and Tournament. Standard and Special boards are 860mm x 860mm x 25mm including the frame. Tournament boards have a thicker frame and are 925mm x 925mm x 45mm.

The board comes with all the pieces you need to play the game, nine black, nine white, one red queen and one striker. The marbled resin pieces are 30mm in diameter and 5mm thick, the striker is 38mm in diameter and 5mm thick. Rules are also included.
