The Carrom playbook

Carrom gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. Clear your nine carrom men after the queen is covered. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Begin with the local two players mode shown on the page. Use the example below to understand a decision.

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

Bring this focus to a round

Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Keep the objective visible.

What you need to achieve

Clear your nine carrom men after the queen is covered. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Notice how the game responds to your input.

Step by step

  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.

Using the playing area

Touch to aim; sliders set power and angle; striker-position controls and Shoot. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.

A closer look at one example

Queen and own man in one legal shot cover immediately. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Keep the game’s format in mind.

A mistake to avoid

The last own man returns if the queen remains uncovered. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
