Carrom is one of the most beloved tabletop games of the Indian subcontinent, also played widely across South and Southeast Asia. It is played on a smooth square board with a netted pocket in each of the four corners, where players flick a heavier disc, the striker, into a set of lighter discs called carrom men. The aim is to send the men into the pockets without potting the striker itself. This browser version distils the game into a focused solo challenge: nine carrom men are clustered at the centre of the board and your job is to clear every one of them into the corners using nothing but well-judged flicks.
Every shot begins on the baseline. Touch the rail across the bottom of the board to slide the striker left or right and line it up with the men you want to break. Then drag from the striker up into the board: the direction you drag is the direction the striker will travel, and the further you drag, the harder it is launched. Power is clamped to a sensible maximum so a wild drag will not fling the striker out of control. Release to flick, and the striker rolls across the felt with friction, colliding with the men and the cushioned walls until everything settles to rest.
A carrom man is potted the moment its centre slips into one of the four corner pockets, and it is removed from the board for good. Pocketing the striker, however, is a foul: in this solo mode the striker is returned to the baseline for your next shot and the foul costs you one extra stroke. Your score is simply the total number of strokes taken to clear all nine men, with each flick counting as one stroke and each foul adding another. The board is cleared the instant the last man drops, and the game shows the final stroke count so you can try to beat it.
Because there is no opponent, every decision is about efficiency. Open with a firm, central shot to scatter the tight cluster of men so they spread toward the corners, then pick off the stragglers with softer, more precise flicks. Line up shots so the striker can carom a man straight along a diagonal into the nearest pocket, and reposition the striker on the baseline before every shot to find the cleanest angle. Above all, protect the striker — a single foul can undo the saving of two careful shots. With patience you can learn to clear the whole board in a handful of strokes.
Carrom is a classic flick-and-pocket board game from the Indian subcontinent. A heavier disc called the striker is snapped into smaller discs, the carrom men, to drive them into the four corner pockets of a square wooden board.
You place the striker anywhere along the bottom baseline, then flick it into the cluster of nine carrom men. The goal is to pot all nine into the corner pockets in as few strokes as possible — there is no opponent, only your own score to beat.
Touch the bottom rail to slide the striker left or right, then drag from the striker into the board. The direction of the drag sets the aim and the length of the drag sets the power, which is capped so the striker never flies off uncontrollably.
Pocketing the striker is a foul. The striker simply returns to the baseline for your next shot, and the foul adds one extra stroke to your score, so a careful clearance is always worth more than a reckless one.
Your score is the number of strokes you take to clear the board, and a lower number is better. Every flick counts as one stroke and each pocketed striker adds one more, so accurate, efficient shots win the game.
