Carrom Sharp · Player's Guide

Flick, cover the Queen, clear the board.

Everything you need to play the 2D carrom board game — on your desktop or your phone, against the computer or a friend across the room or the world.

01 What this is

Carrom Sharp is a physics-driven take on the classic tabletop game of carrom. You flick a heavy striker from your baseline to knock your light or dark carrom men into the four corner pockets — and you must pocket and cover the Red Queen to claim her points.

Play a quick match against the built-in bot, Play with friends online by adding them through the in-game friends system or inviting them with a link generated by the game, or drop into the Feel the Physics sandbox to bend the rules of the table itself. Matches run as singles (1 v 1) or doubles (2 v 2), and a full Match is a series of boards played to a target score.
