Give this approach a try
Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Use the example to check your reasoning.
The objective of a round
Clear your nine carrom men after the queen is covered. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Keep the controls in easy reach.
Follow these playing steps
- 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.
Getting comfortable with the controls
Touch to aim; sliders set power and angle; striker-position controls and Shoot. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
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. Look for the relevant detail.
Watch out for this
The last own man returns if the queen remains uncovered. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
