Your goal
Clear your nine carrom men after the queen is covered. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Start with a deliberate move.
From the start of a round
- 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 interact with the game
Touch to aim; sliders set power and angle; striker-position controls and Shoot. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
A useful example
Queen and own man in one legal shot cover immediately. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Check the stated objective.
Avoid this misunderstanding
The last own man returns if the queen remains uncovered. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
