About Carrom 2 Player

Carrom is a tabletop board game that is hugely popular in South Asia. It plays a little like billiards on a square board: instead of a cue, you flick a heavy disc called the striker to knock smaller pieces into the four corner pockets. This version is made for two people on the same device, taking turns at the board.

How to play

On your turn, slide the big white striker along your side of the board to choose where to shoot from. Pull it back to set the direction and strength, then let go. The aim is to pocket the playing pieces into the corner holes. Black and white pieces are worth different points, and each player's score is shown on the left and right of the screen. A careless shot can cost you, because some pots count as fouls. Take turns until all the pieces are gone, and the higher score wins.

Controls

• Position the striker: drag it along your baseline with the mouse
• Aim and shoot: pull the striker back and release

Tips

• Angles beat power. A soft shot at the right angle is more reliable than a hard one that scatters the pieces.
• Shoot pieces that sit close to a pocket first. Leave the difficult ones for when the board is clearer.
• Think about where the striker will end up after the shot, so it does not drop into a pocket itself.
