Keep the aim in sight
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. Refer to the controls when needed.
Your goal
Clear your nine carrom men after the queen is covered. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Notice how the game responds to your input.
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.
Controls
Touch to aim; sliders set power and angle; striker-position controls and Shoot. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Use one clear input at a time.
A useful example
Queen and own man in one legal shot cover immediately. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Verify the rule before continuing.
Watch out for this
The last own man returns if the queen remains uncovered. A different version of the game may use a different rule. 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.
