Understand the aim
Clear your nine carrom men after the queen is covered. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. 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.
How to use the controls
Touch to aim; sliders set power and angle; striker-position controls and Shoot. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
A closer look at one example
Queen and own man in one legal shot cover immediately. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Keep the controls nearby.
A mistake to avoid
The last own man returns if the queen remains uncovered. Check the rule before repeating the action. 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.
