Aim for this result
Clear your nine carrom men after the queen is covered. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Check the rules when you are unsure.
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 use the 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. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
Try this example
Queen and own man in one legal shot cover immediately. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Keep the controls nearby.
A useful caution
The last own man returns if the queen remains uncovered. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
