Something to practise
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.
Your objective
Clear your nine carrom men after the queen is covered. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
Follow these playing steps
- 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.
Getting comfortable with the controls
Touch to aim; sliders set power and angle; striker-position controls and Shoot. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.
See how the rules apply
Queen and own man in one legal shot cover immediately. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Check the stated objective.
Check this before moving on
The last own man returns if the queen remains uncovered. Compare the situation with the worked example. 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.
