According to Wikipedia:

"Carrom is a family of tabletop games with gameplay that lies somewhere between billiards and table shuffleboard. Carrom is known by many names around the world, including carrum, couronne, carum, karam, karom, karum, fatta (Punjabi) and finger billiards. The game was originated in India or Sri Lanka, but may have developed in more than one part of the world independently. Formal rules for the game were not published until 1988. The game and its variants are played in many countries across the world, recreationally and as a competitive sport (as organised by the International Carrom Federation). Carrom employs simple equipment enabling a wide player base. Variants of carrom that employ cue sticks also exist."
