⚪ Play Carrom Online
Flick the striker, pocket your coins, sink the queen. Free multiplayer, 2 players, ~6 min matches — no signup required, and an empty seat never means a stalled match.
How to play Carrom
Flick your striker to pocket your own coins in the corner pockets before your opponent — sink the queen too.
Lining up a clean shot and hearing your coin drop into the corner pocket delivers a sharp, satisfying click of confirmation.
- Drag along your baseline to line up the striker
- Click and drag back from the striker, then release to shoot — drag distance sets power
- Arrow keys nudge your aim, space/enter fires
💡 The queen only counts if you've already pocketed at least one of your own coins — otherwise she respawns at center.
💡 Practice controlling drag distance for soft taps, not just hard breaks, since gentle nudges set up easier follow-up pockets.
