A small practice goal
Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Refer to the controls when needed.
The purpose of your moves
Clear your nine carrom men after the queen is covered. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
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 interact with the game
Touch to aim; sliders set power and angle; striker-position controls and Shoot. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Look at the feedback after the action.
A useful example
Queen and own man in one legal shot cover immediately. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Verify the rule before continuing.
A mistake to avoid
The last own man returns if the queen remains uncovered. Check the rule before repeating the action. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
