American Style - Beginner Carrom / Pinnochi Board Set - With Optional Cues
American Style - Beginner Carrom / Pinnochi Board Set - With Optional Cues
This is a beginner carrom board (handmade in Quebec, Canada) that is 30.75 inches and has a playing surface of 29 inches. The American-style carrom board has wide pockets (6"x 3.5") which make it easier to shoot into the corner holes. It comes with an abundance of carrom / pinnochi rings (including a drawstring pouch), sliding powder, and 2 optional carrom cues and a 12 inch lazy susan.
This game is a combination of two classic board games - carrom and pinnochi. The object of this "finger pool" game is to strike a larger disc so that it contacts lighter discs and propels them into 1 of 4 corner pockets. But you must sink your pieces before the opponent sinks theirs. Plus, the queen must be pocketed and "covered" by pocketing one of one's own pieces on the same or a subsequent shot. It is a very historic game, first played in India.
Includes:
- Durable MDF carrom board
- 30.75 inches wide with a 29 inch playing surface
- 30 game pieces with a storage pouch
- Wooden striker
- Sliding powder
- Rules for carrom and pinnochi included
- Measures 31 1/2" x 31 1/2"
- Optional cues and 12 inch lazy susan
- Made in Canada

My family loves playing this too! We are hoping to get good enough as to where we feel confident getting a carrom specific board. We also enjoy pinocchi, however, it is hard to find supplemental rules online for specific scenarios regarding the rules. A rule book is included for both games and regarding Pinocchi, it’s the most comprehensive rule set I’ve found in English.
Please note that these games are notably harder than crokinole and will definitely take practice to become proficient.
I was expecting having a lot of fun with my 2 purchases.the original crokinole and the pichenotte...the American style carrom, named pichenotte for Canadians is funny and similar to billard. A good point is the possibility to move the board and to play 2 games: carrom or pichenotte. Both are cool but I think it miss something to make this game a hit.. but it is. Action game and the board is awesome. Beautiful and well made.. about the crokinole this one is absolutely the winner. Lot of fun, excellent and beautiful board. Good accessories to make it more enjoyable. ( I took the colors buttons) And a 2 or a 4 game is absolutely enjoyable..very easy to understand and very funny to play...the winner by ko is crokinole. Happy to make my family and friends play the game and I think about buying another one as a gift for our french family..
Bravo to the team..was helpful and the shipping was secure and fast for a delivery in France... thanks
