Learn the rules of Carrom
Read the aim of Carrom, then make your first move. 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. Look at what changes after your first action.
Play a casual Carrom match using the house rules shown here. Tournament penalties and multi-board match scoring are not used.
Practice beyond the first move
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Make the next step deliberately.
What counts as success
Clear your nine carrom men after the queen is covered. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
Step by step
- 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.

Work through an example
Queen and own man in one legal shot cover immediately. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Check the stated objective.
A common point of confusion
The last own man returns if the queen remains uncovered. Compare the situation with the worked example. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
