What you need to achieve
Clear your nine carrom men after the queen is covered. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
How to proceed
- 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. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Use one clear input at a time.
Put the rules into context
Queen and own man in one legal shot cover immediately. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Keep the controls nearby.
Keep this in mind
The last own man returns if the queen remains uncovered. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. 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.
