What is Carrom Pool?

Carrom Pool is Miniclip's carrom game, with classic rules and faster alternative modes.

Gameplay

Aiming uses a guideline and a power drag, and the physics react the way a real board does: discs bounce, slow down and rebound off edges naturally. Classic mode follows carrom rules including the queen, while the faster mode lets you pocket any disc. Matches are short and online opponents are easy to find.

Graphics and performance

Boards and strikers are bright and clear. The game runs well on most phones.

Monetisation

Free to play with coins and optional purchases. Strikers mostly change appearance and some stats; skill with angles matters more.

What we liked

The physics are what make Carrom Pool stand out. Discs slide, bounce and slow down the way they do on a real board, so the skills you learn on a physical board carry over. Aiming with the guideline is accurate without being automatic, and the faster modes are a good option when you only have a couple of minutes.

What could be better

The economy is the weak spot. Entry fees grow quickly as you move to higher arenas, and a few losses can wipe out a coin balance. The store also pushes strikers and boards often. Staying in an arena that matches your balance keeps the game enjoyable.

Who is it for?

Players who know carrom from home, and pool players looking for something different.

Tips if you start playing

  • Use the guideline to plan rebounds off the edges
  • Do not hit at full power every time; softer shots keep discs near the pockets
  • Pocket the queen when you can cover it on the next shot

Verdict

Carrom Pool is smooth carrom physics that are easy to learn. Our score: 8.0/10.
