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.
Making your moves
- White starts; set striker aim and power.

- Striker fouls return one own pocketed man if available.
- Finish your colour after a covered queen.
The controls to know
Touch to aim; sliders set power and angle; striker-position controls and Shoot. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
Follow the example
Queen and own man in one legal shot cover immediately. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Look for the relevant detail.
A common point of confusion
The last own man returns if the queen remains uncovered. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
