Something to practise
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. Make the next step deliberately.
The goal to keep in mind
Clear your nine carrom men after the queen is covered. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Take a moment to understand the current position.
Step by step
- 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.
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. Check any mode label before starting.
Try this example
Queen and own man in one legal shot cover immediately. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Notice the change in the playing area.
One detail worth checking
The last own man returns if the queen remains uncovered. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
