About

Carrom Angles

Features
Read full description

Carrom Angles is the board game played on every veranda from Lahore to Chennai, on your phone — with the geometry gently shown rather than taught. Drag back from the striker and let go. The coins scatter, click and settle exactly as they should, because the board runs a real physics simulation rather than a canned animation. TWO PLAYERS ON ONE PHONE One takes the whites, the other the blacks. Pot one of yours and you shoot again. Potting the striker is a foul, so the hardest shot is not always the best one. First to clear all five wins. OR PLAY CHOTU A solo opponent who searches the same board you do — he tries shots, keeps the best one he finds, and then plays it slightly wrong on the easier settings. He fails the way a person does, not by being handed a worse rule. PRACTICE THE ANGLES Cannot see a straight line to the pocket? Bounce off a cushion. A coin leaves a cushion at the same angle it arrives, so you aim at the MIRROR IMAGE of what you want to hit. Practice mode draws the path, marks the bounce, and shows you the two angles are equal — no numbers, no lecture, just the picture. The line you are shown is the line the ball actually takes. That is checked, not promised. FOR FAMILIES • 100% offline. No ads. No accounts. No data collected. Ever. • Eleven languages, including full right-to-left Arabic and Urdu • Big coins, clear board, one-finger controls Free forever: 2 Players in full, Chotu on Easy, and the first practice shot. One optional purchase adds the rest. Part of the Math Duel family of offline learning games.
