Carrom Live
The popular carrom board game has gone digital, thanks to Octro Inc, an Indian mobile game developer. The game is available for free download and allows one to challenge friends on Facebook, or compete with complete strangers. You start as a novice and level-up by beating your opponents. Wins in the game also earn XP and chips. You can also unlock hidden achievements by playing some off-beat shots, especially those based on rebounds. While we are still getting a hang of the game, we have to admit; so far it has proven to be quite an engaging alternative to pass time.
