A small practice goal
Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Refer to the controls when needed.
The purpose of your moves
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.
Step by step
- 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.
Keyboard and screen controls
Touch to aim; sliders set power and angle; striker-position controls and Shoot. Read a button’s label before selecting it. A new-round button replaces the current round.
See the idea in action
Queen and own man in one legal shot cover immediately. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Verify the rule before continuing.
Notice this detail
The last own man returns if the queen remains uncovered. Check the rule before repeating the action. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
