The single player or the team has to strike only pieces of one single color throughout the game and pocket them as early as possible. The game begins when a player strikes at the circular pattern of pieces with the striker. The thumb can be used for backward shots. A player can strike with the striker using his index, middle finger or by both these fingers of either of his two hands. Secondly, if placed on the red circle at the end of the base lines the striker should either completely cover the circle or not touch it at all. In order to shoot the carrom men, the striker should be placed on the base lines (the parallel lines on every side of the board) such that it should touch both the lines. The striker is used to shoot the other pieces in the game. Now let us know how the actual game is played. In a single game, rival participants sit opposite to each other whereas in a doubles game, players of the same team sit opposite to each other. The pattern should be made such that the white pieces form a ‘Y’, with the queen as the center and the two upper segments directing to the pockets. On the outer side of the circle, the remaining 12 pieces are placed, again in the alternate white and black order. The queen is placed at the center of the carrom board with six pieces encircling the queen, in alternate white and black order. It is not mandatory for the winner to pocket the queen. The player or the team that pockets all his carrom pieces (carrom men) is the winner. The objective while playing carrom for a player is to be the first player (or the first team) to pocket all the respective pieces (black or white).
