I agree, it is frustrating to take a game which should be fun and turn it 
into a contest of supremacy.
I bought a carom board recently.  Problem is the plastic rings don't play the 
same as the woo don ones.  I'm going to have to make some in order to have a 
decent game.  
I spent much time as a child playing with my granduncle, good times for a 
lonely kid.  the old folks called it a Croakenole (sp?) board, because they 
played that game which was on the backside of the board.
