Identify what you are playing
Physical Carrom, a mobile game mode and a browser exercise may use different instructions. Begin with the rules for the actual version in front of you.
Carrom Pool on mobile
Miniclip’s beginner guide recommends completing the introductory tutorial. It explains that play is viewed from the bottom of the board and the striker control is used to adjust aim and power.
Learn one input
Locate the turn indicator, controls and help screen. Try one adjustment at a time and note its effect.
Our practice exercise
Pocket Practice is an original two-disc browser exercise. It does not reproduce Miniclip’s app or the complete rules of physical Carrom.
