Carrom: how a round works

Carrom gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. Clear your nine carrom men after the queen is covered. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Begin with the local two players mode shown on the page. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.

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

Something to practise

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. Refer to the controls when needed.

Understand the aim

Clear your nine carrom men after the queen is covered. Read that aim before choosing your first action. The example below illustrates a decision.

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.

The controls to know

Touch to aim; sliders set power and angle; striker-position controls and Shoot. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Check any mode label before starting.

A closer look at one example

Queen and own man in one legal shot cover immediately. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Verify the rule before continuing.

Avoid this misunderstanding

The last own man returns if the queen remains uncovered. A different version of the game may use a different rule. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
