Book a table for two
Our carrom tables seat two people each. If you’re coming as four and want to play at the same time, ask if both tables are available.

in Blackburn
Flick the striker across the board and try to send your pieces into the corner pockets. We have two carrom tables at The Board Game Café in Blackburn, each set up for two people.
Plan your game
Start with a head-to-head game
Carrom rewards aim and a light touch. It’s easy to try a few practice shots before playing a full board.
Get used to the striker
Take a few straight practice shots before aiming for angles. A controlled flick is usually easier to repeat than a hard shot.
Agree how you’ll play the queen
The red queen has a special rule. If you’re playing with official-style rules, agree what covering the queen means before you break.

Carrom questions
Find us at Unit 12, The Stables, Eanam, Blackburn BB1 5BY. Check the opening hours and directions before you set off.
How is carrom different from pool?
Both use pockets, but carrom is a seated tabletop game. You flick a striker with a finger, while pool uses a cue to hit the cue ball.
How do I request the carrom table?
Use the table request on this page. Include the number of players and tell us if you’d like both tables. We’ll confirm availability.
