Simple-Point Carrom is a variant that is very popular within children, seniors, women or an odd number of players. Players are allowed to pocket carrom men of any colour. A majority of people play by the following simple rules:
- The objective of play is to use a striker disk with a flick of the finger to make contact with and move lighter object coin into one of four corner pockets.
- Typically Black color coin gives 5 points, white/khaki color (or non-black) coin gives 10 points and Red color coin (Queen) gives 25 points to Corrom man/woman.
- Pocketing the queen must be followed by pocketing another coin on the same strike. To get Red color coin (Queen) points, one needs to put additional coin (of any color) after queen. If covering queen attempt fail, queen will be put back to center of board.
- Highest number player or team will win.
- Sets of 1, 3 or 5 are common.
- With points system, if one team/player gets queen points at early stages, still other have good chance to win by earning more points.
- This style of play is widely accepted in many areas of South Asia and quite popular with house wives.
