How to play Carrom Flick
Carrom Flick is a flicking game on a wooden board with four corner pockets. You play the light coins, your rival the dark ones, and the red queen waits in the middle. Slide the striker along your baseline, drag back from anywhere on the board and let go: the longer the pull, the harder the flick. A dotted guide shows where the striker will first touch a coin and where that coin will go.
Pocket one of your own coins and you shoot again; pocket the other colour and the turn passes. The queen is worth three points but must be covered: pocket one of your own coins on the same or the next shot, or she goes back to the centre. If the striker falls into a pocket it is a foul and one of your coins returns to the board. Clear all nine of your coins after the queen is covered to win the board; you score the coins your rival still has plus three for the queen.
Play the ladder of twelve bot opponents, each steadier and sharper than the last, share one screen in pass and play, or try the solo trial and clear the board in as few shots as you can for up to three stars. Win boards to earn coins and unlock new strikers. One free hint per board, a guide you can switch off, and keyboard or slider controls for precise aiming. Your progress is saved on your device.

FAQ
How do I flick the striker?
Slide the striker along your baseline with the bar under the board, then press anywhere on the board, drag back and let go. The striker flies the opposite way to your pull and a longer pull is a harder flick. Dragging back to the start cancels the shot.
What is covering the queen?
After you pocket the red queen you must pocket one of your own coins on the same or the next shot. If you do, the queen is yours and is worth three points; if not, she goes back to the centre.
What happens when the striker falls into a pocket?
It is a foul. One of your pocketed coins goes back to the centre of the board and the turn passes. If you have none to give back, you owe one: the next coin you pocket goes back instead.
How do I win a board?
Pocket all nine of your coins after the queen has been covered. You score the number of coins your rival still has on the board, plus three if you covered the queen. After 60 shots in total the board is decided on coins pocketed.
Is Carrom Flick free?
Yes. It is free to play in your browser, with no download and no account.
Can I play on my phone?
Yes. It runs on phones, tablets and computers. Slide the striker with the bar under the board, then drag a finger back from anywhere on the board and lift to flick; a longer pull is harder. Fine aim gives sliders and a Shoot button.
