Henry L. Haskell started the Ludington Novelty company in 1889, making baskets and games.
 The names of the first games of "Novelty" are unknown.
 Haskell was a Sunday school teacher at the time and was concerned that young boys were loitering around pool halls, exposing them to develop bad habits.
 In 1892, he invented a game called "carroms" that the whole family could play on a carrom board, a design he later patented.
 A 1953 Ludington Daily News article talks of an 1895 newspaper advertisement that said, "you can keep the boys home nights by giving them a good carrom game."

Pichenotte is a French Canadian tabletop game, with a board, game pieces and rules similar to carrom.
 Used more broadly, the term is a general name for tabletop games played with small (usually wooden) pieces that are flicked using the thumb and index (or middle) finger, including such games as carrom, sharing a similarity in that their mechanics lie somewhere between pocket billiards and shuffleboard.
 The term is sometimes also mistakenly used as the actual name of other games of this class, such as carrom and crokinole.
 Commercially produced boards are available, some under the trade name Pinnochi.
 The game is sometimes referred to as "piche" or "pish".
Trouble (known as Frustration in the UK and Kimble in Finland) is a board game in which players compete to be the first to send four pieces all the way around a board.
 Pieces are moved according to the roll of a die.
 "Trouble" was developed by the Kohner Brothers and initially manufactured by Irwin Toy Ltd., later by Milton Bradley (now part of Hasbro).
 The game was launched in the United States in 1965.
 It is very similar to the much older game, "Mensch ärgere dich nicht", as well as another Hasbro game, "Sorry!"
 (originally marketed by Parker Brothers).
 The classic version is now marketed by Winning Moves.
 All these games are versions of the classic Indian game Pachisi, which was first introduced to the western world in England under the name of "Ludo".
