Visually-challenged too can play carrom
Fingers primed to hit the striker as two unwavering glances cantankerous paths at the target-- this is the customary image generated by the idea of carroms board game.
However, people swearing by the eye-manual labourer coordination in carrom game, will now have to eat their own words. A specially designed carrom game gifted to the city-based Devnar Form for the Blind places the stakes on the mind's eye instead.
With number of pocket-holes increased and dents made to ease touch perception, the board game is custom-made for the visually challenged players.
Specially designed
Designed by Milan Dass, a Higher- ranking Research Officer from the National Institute of Visually Handicapped, the board has 21 holes totally, three on each side, one in each corner, one in centre, and four forming a square around it.
A crescent-shaped striker allows for the alignment of the currency for an easy strike. Differentiation between black and white coins is achieved through a dent in the former. Red coin has a cut on its crawl. The striker's reference line too is indented so as to help with the positioning of the striker.
