THE PLAYBOOK · SHENGJIQJ
Getting started with Carrom
Open Carrom, check the instructions and begin a round. 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. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
Play a casual Carrom match using the house rules shown here. Tournament penalties and multi-board match scoring are not used.
Something to practise
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Refer to the controls when needed.
The challenge in front of you
Clear your nine carrom men after the queen is covered. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Review the board or playing area as it changes.
The playing sequence
- 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 your actions work
Touch to aim; sliders set power and angle; striker-position controls and Shoot. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Check any mode label before starting.
See the idea in action
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.
Keep this in mind
The last own man returns if the queen remains uncovered. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
