The objective of a round
Clear your nine carrom men after the queen is covered. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Keep the controls in easy reach.
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.
The controls to know
Touch to aim; sliders set power and angle; striker-position controls and Shoot. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
Put the rules into context
Queen and own man in one legal shot cover immediately. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Notice the change in the playing area.
A common point of confusion
The last own man returns if the queen remains uncovered. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. 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.
