A game of singles can straightaway start with two players, sitting opposite to each other. A spin of coin settles as to who should have the first break. The Carrommen should be arranged in a flat position, with the queen occupying center circle, and the rest of the Carromman so placed around the queen in the first row, keeping white & black Carrommen alternately. All the Carrommen, so placed, as above shall be arranged in a compact round, touching one another within the outer circle. The opener shall have white Carrommen to strike, while his opponent black to dispense with.In doubles, four persons comprising two teams, sit opposite to each other, occupying all the four sides. At the end of each board, a player gets one point for each carrommen of the opponent left on the board and 3 points for the Queen if already pocketed and covered by him. The loser does not get points for Queen even he/she has pocketed and covered the Queen.
