A small practice goal

What you need to achieve
Clear your nine carrom men after the queen is covered. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Take a moment to understand the current position.
How to proceed
- 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. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Read the example below alongside these instructions.
A useful example
Queen and own man in one legal shot cover immediately. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Keep the controls nearby.
Watch out for this
The last own man returns if the queen remains uncovered. A different version of the game may use a different rule. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
