The purpose of your moves
Clear your nine carrom men after the queen is covered. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
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. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
Try this example
Queen and own man in one legal shot cover immediately. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Take a moment to compare.
One detail worth checking
The last own man returns if the queen remains uncovered. Compare the situation with the worked example. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
