The objective of a round
Clear your nine carrom men after the queen is covered. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Take a moment to understand the current position.
The order of play
- 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.
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.
An example to follow
Queen and own man in one legal shot cover immediately. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Keep the game’s format in mind.
Keep this in mind
The last own man returns if the queen remains uncovered. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
