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. Keep the controls in easy reach.

Work through the instructions

  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.

How your actions work

Touch to aim; sliders set power and angle; striker-position controls and Shoot. Use the control method described here for this activity. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.

Try this example
