Practice with a purpose
Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Notice the feedback after each input.
Aim for this result
Clear your nine carrom men after the queen is covered. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
From the start of a round
- White starts; set striker aim and power.
- Own-colour pockets earn another shot.
- Cover the queen with an own-colour man in the same or next shot.
- Striker fouls return one own pocketed man if available.
- Finish your colour after a covered queen.
How your actions work
Touch to aim; sliders set power and angle; striker-position controls and Shoot. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
An example to follow
Queen and own man in one legal shot cover immediately. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Choose a deliberate next step.
Where a round can go wrong
The last own man returns if the queen remains uncovered. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
