A little about the game
Meet Carrom

How to play Carrom
White plays first. Move the striker along your baseline with the slider under the board. Then drag back from anywhere on the board and let go: the striker shoots the opposite way, in any direction (even back toward the rails for bank shots), and harder the further you pull. Let go close to where you started to cancel. On a keyboard, A and D slide the striker, Left and Right turn the aim, and holding Space builds power until you let go. Pocket your colour to keep your turn. The red queen goes last: once all nine of your coins are down, pocket the queen to win. Pocket it any earlier and it goes back to the centre and your turn ends. Pocketing the striker returns one of your coins and ends your turn.
A tip for your next run
Leave the queen alone until your coins are down, and try to keep it near a pocket for your final shot. A short pull gives a soft, accurate shot.
