If you sink your opponent’s piece, you lose your turn.If totally covered, the piece is placed opposite the next player behind the red spot. If the center spot is partially covered when replacing the queen or a jumped piece, the piece should cover as much red as possible.If pieces land on end or are overlapping, they are left that way. If a piece jumps off the board, it is placed on the center spot.If while shooting for the quee,n you also sink one of your carrom men in the same shot, the queen is automatically covered, no matter which went first.If you haven’t sunk one yet, you owe one. After sinking the striker, your opponent places the due piece(s) within the center circle.But, if you sink a piece in the same shot, then two come up and you shoot again. Sinking the striker costs you one piece and your turn.No more points are collected for the queen after your score reaches 22.Ī game consists of 25 points or eight boards, whichever comes first. The winner of a board collects one point for each of the opponent’s carrom men left at the finish and three points for the queen if covered by the winner (if covered by the loser, no-one gets those points). Once the queen is covered, whoever clears all their carrom men first wins the ‘board’. After pocketing the queen, you must sink one of your carrommen, thereby ‘covering’ it, into any pocket in the next shot, or she is returned to the center spot.

The red ‘queen,’ can be pocketed at any time after sinking your first piece but must be sunk before your last one.
