Before you begin
Game Setup
Set up the game by placing the red queen in the center with the black and brown coins spiraled around it, as pictured.
Let's Play Carrom
To start one player flicks the striker from their baseline to break the center of the coin formation.
The color of the coin you pocket first remains your color for the game. Your turn continues every time you pocket one of your colored coins.
Pocket the red queen at any time, but you must pocket one of your coins immediately after. If you don't, your turn ends and the queen must be returned to the center of the board.
