The goal to keep in mind
Clear your nine carrom men after the queen is covered. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
Making your moves
- 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.
Choosing and moving on screen
Touch to aim; sliders set power and angle; striker-position controls and Shoot. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.
An example before you play
Queen and own man in one legal shot cover immediately. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Keep the game’s format in mind.
A common point of confusion
The last own man returns if the queen remains uncovered. A different version of the game may use a different rule. 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.
