Take a closer look while playing
Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules. Use the example to check your reasoning.
The goal to keep in mind
Clear your nine carrom men after the queen is covered. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
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 your actions work
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. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
One way to understand the rules
Queen and own man in one legal shot cover immediately. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Choose a deliberate next step.
Notice this detail
The last own man returns if the queen remains uncovered. Check the rule before repeating the action. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
