How to play

Slide: touch the striker and drag sideways; it slides along your baseline and steps clear of coins it would overlap (it turns red where it cannot be placed).

Aim: drag anywhere else on the board. Slow drags turn the aim finer. The guide shows the striker's path and the real first contact; it dims when the stroke would be illegal (backwards from your line).

Shoot: touch the striker and pull it straight back; the ring fills with the power. Let go to shoot. Pulling back less than a centimetre cancels. Settings › Striker control offers a Flick style instead: flick the striker in the direction of travel.

Fine aim: the ribbed wheel at the side nudges the aim by 0.15° per rib. Settings can hide it or move it to the left for left-handed play.

3D: the button in the bottom corner swaps to the low veranda view; tap again for the top view. The game drops to the low view by itself for replays and the end of a board.

The rules

Home › How to play lists all four rule sets in two short paragraphs each (Classic, Point carrom, Free style, Family). In short: pocketing a coin keeps your turn; shoot forward from your baseline; the red queen only counts when you "cover" her by pocketing one of your own coins in the same or the next stroke. If no coin drops for 60 strokes the board is decided on coins, so a wedged coin can never freeze a game.

Career, trick shots, the daily trick

Career: six clubs, four evenings each. An evening opens when the one before it is won; a club opens with 5 of the previous club's 12 stars. Stars: win the evening, keep the striker out of the pockets, and take the queen (Classic and Family) or win by a margin (Point: 3, Free style: 30).

Trick shots: eight packs of sixteen. Every puzzle was solved by the game before it was kept, so each one can be done. Hint slides a ghost striker to the right spot and lines up the aim; using it caps the trick at two stars. The Daily trick is the same for everyone each day; solving it keeps your streak.

Online play

Quick match finds people playing the same rules, seats and length; if nobody turns up within about eight seconds, clearly labelled computer players fill the empty seats so a game can always start. Room with friends gives you a six-letter code to share (or a link); your friend types it under "Join a room". Friends: add a friend by their six-letter friend code (shown on the Play online screen) or tap their name after an online game. Friends see each other online and can invite each other to a room.

Lost the connection? The game reconnects by itself. If you are away for more than about 25 seconds a computer player holds your seat and the game goes on; come back (even after closing the app) and your seat is handed back with the board as it is.

Shot clock: online seats have 45 seconds a stroke; the last twenty count down on your card. When it runs out a sensible stroke is played for you so a game never hangs.

Boards, strikers, level

Every mode earns XP; levels and the Career, trick stars, daily tricks and online wins open six boards and eight strikers in Home › the level chip. Nothing is sold.

Sound, vibration, accessibility

Settings has separate switches for background music, game sounds, the turn chime and vibration; Veranda, Daylight and Midnight looks (or Auto); a graphics level (Auto / Smooth / Best; Auto steps down by itself when frames drop); the guide length; reduced motion; a left-handed layout; and the language (English / हिन्दी). The game follows your phone's text size and reduced-motion setting, coins carry patterns as well as colours, and every control has a screen-reader label.

Anonymous play statistics

The game sends anonymous play statistics to our own server (see the privacy policy). Settings › "Share anonymous play stats" switches them off.
