Carrom: goal and players
Play Carrom online on JAWNA at jawna.app. Check the goal and supported player counts before inviting your group. Read the rules even if you know the game: familiar names can have different variants, and your usual house rules may differ from the selected version.
Supported table sizes: 2, 3 or 4 players. Choose a player count in the game settings. In partner variants, check seats and teams first. In individual formats, each player competes for their own result. The in-game How to play screen provides details. Agree on the variant before your first round together.
How to play: rules
- 9 white and 9 black coins and the red queen. With two players each owns a colour (white breaks); with four, partners sit opposite and share a colour.
- Slide the striker along your baseline with the slider under the board. Drag back from the striker to aim (the line shows the first coin it hits and where that coin goes), pull further for more power, and let go. Pocket one of your coins and you shoot again.
- The queen must be covered: after pocketing it, pocket one of your own coins in the same or the next strike, or it goes back to the centre.
- Fouls: pocketing the striker ends your turn and one of your pocketed coins comes back (if you have none yet, you owe one: it comes back after your next coin). Sinking your own last coin, or the other side’s last coin, before the queen is covered loses the board.
- Clear all your coins to win the board: you score the coins the other side has left, plus 3 if you hold the queen. One board is the whole match.

History & origins
Carrom originated in the Indian subcontinent and became a popular tabletop game across South Asia and beyond.
It combines pocketing targets with a finger-flicked striker, bringing some of the aiming challenge of billiards to a compact wooden board.
The International Carrom Federation was founded in 1988. Formal competition standardised rules alongside the many home and café traditions.
