Carrom: learn through an example

Use a short break to learn the rhythm of Carrom. Clear your nine carrom men after the queen is covered. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Begin with the local two players mode shown on the page. Look at what changes after your first action.

Play a casual Carrom match using the house rules shown here. Tournament penalties and multi-board match scoring are not used.

Something to practise

Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Keep the objective visible.

What the game asks you to do

Clear your nine carrom men after the queen is covered. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Try to explain the aim in your own words.

How a round unfolds

  1. White starts; set striker aim and power.
  2. Own-colour pockets earn another shot.
  3. Cover the queen with an own-colour man in the same or next shot.
  4. Striker fouls return one own pocketed man if available.
  5. Finish your colour after a covered queen.

Input guidance
