Heritage & History
Carrom Company was founded in 1889 in Ludington, Michigan, a small city on the eastern shore of Lake Michigan with a strong manufacturing tradition. The company's signature product — the Carrom board, a finger-billiards game with South Asian origins adapted for American parlors — became one of the most recognized family games of the twentieth century. The rules are simple enough for children yet strategic enough for adults, and the wooden boards' durability meant that a single Carrom set could be passed from generation to generation.
For over 130 years, Carrom has remained in Ludington, an unusual commitment to domestic manufacturing in an industry that largely moved production to Asia decades ago. The company expanded its line to include crokinole boards — the Canadian throwing game that has experienced a resurgence among board game enthusiasts — and various table games, all built with the same craftsmanship that made the original Carrom boards iconic.
Made in Ludington, Michigan
All Carrom games are manufactured in Ludington, Michigan, using domestic hardwoods and a production process that prioritizes durability over cost minimization. The combination board sets — which include Carrom, chess, checkers, backgammon, and other game surfaces on a single reversible board — represent the company's most ambitious manufacturing achievement, requiring precise surface finishing and hardware quality that offshore production typically cannot match at equivalent price points.
The Michigan manufacturing tradition gives Carrom access to skilled woodworkers and the quality control infrastructure needed for games meant to last decades. The company's position as an American-made alternative to imported game sets has earned it consistent recognition from consumers who prioritize craftsmanship over low price.
