Breaking
The first player — decided by a coin toss — strikes the carrommen from their baseline to scatter the “Y”.
Break, strike, repeat.
Gameplay
Who goes first, where the striker may sit, and how long a turn lasts.
Striking rules
The striker must touch both base lines and must not cross the diagonal arrow line. Only the hand may cross the baseline.
- The striker rests inside the baseline, touching both parallel lines.
- It may not be placed over the diagonal arrow line at either end.
- Your hand may cross the baseline; the striker may not.
Turns
Your turn continues as long as you keep pocketing carrommen. Combination shots and luck shots are both allowed.
- Pocket a piece of your colour → strike again.
- Combinations count.
- Luck shots count.
