asked:




There are quite simple rules in the carom game and knowing them would be very useful to get started with the game.

1)    Two to four people can play carom at a time, if two of them are playing then they have to sit opposite side of the board, while four can occupy all the four side of the board. Partner should sit opposite to each other. As an exception even three can play against each other for points.

2)    Follow the rules for arranging the coins; arrange the carom men on the centre circle of the carom board, with the red queen at centre. The white should be arranged in such a way as to form “y” shape with two sides aiming directly towards corner pockets.

3)    Each player sits on his side and can strike from that side only.

4) When placing the striker on the board to strike, it should touch both the base line or on end circle covering it completely, or not touching it at all. The striker should not touch the diagonal arrow.
