Carom is a relaxing yet skillful indoor board game that is widely enjoyed across Bangladesh. Played on a smooth wooden board with four corner pockets, the game involves flicking a striker with one’s fingers to pocket small round carom-men pieces. Whether played individually or in teams, the objective is simple: pocket the most pieces to win. Easy to learn and highly enjoyable in groups, carom is a favorite pastime for students looking for quick fun and friendly competition.

At Armed Forces Medical College, both the male and female dormitories have dedicated corners equipped with carom boards and accessories. Additionally, the tea-break area in the Academic Building features a carom setup, giving cadets a perfect opportunity to unwind between demanding classes.

Carom is more than just entertainment—it sharpens focus, improves hand steadiness, and enhances calculation skills. For medical cadets, it provides an excellent way to relax, recharge, and take a mindful break after long hours of studying. Whether during leisure time in the dorms or short breaks between lectures, carom offers a refreshing mental escape while building precision and concentration.
