{"product_id":"american-carrom","title":"American Carrom","description":"\u003cp\u003eAmerican Carrom, attributed to American Sunday school teacher Henry Haskell, is a derivative of Carrom.  American Carrom differs from Carrom in the board construction, particularly the larger size of the pockets and the striker (shooter) being the same size as the other pieces. American Carrom can also be played with a cue, and the board is patterned with checkers, chess or other board motifs, allowing a variety of other games to be played.  Many American Carrom boards also double as Crokinole boards.\n\nIn American Carrom the object is to flick to strike the Carrom men into the pockets in a similar fashion to pool or billiards.  Sometimes a cue is used rather than flicking.  Due to the larger pocket size American Carrom lacks some of the strategy and skill required of the 'proper' version of the game.\n\nAlso noteworthy is the fact that American Carrom uses rings for game pieces whereas Carrom game pieces are solid discs.\n\nEuropean games in a similar vein: Korona and H-ring spel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlayers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2–4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlay time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60 min\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplexity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.22 \/ 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Henry Haskell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1892\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"(Public Domain)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51927344611544,"sku":"SB-F7B9FFF67BD3-BOARD-GAMES-UNK-SEALED","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/6271\/0488\/files\/sfu979q1t6yu0mxv8qjb2y7k0f7z.jpg?v=1785467419","url":"https:\/\/abbyboardwalkstore.com\/products\/american-carrom","provider":"Boardwalk Cafe \u0026 Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
