Point Carrom is a variant that is popular with children or an odd number of players. Game play is as described above with a variation. Players are allowed to pocket carrom men of any colour.
- Carrom men of black colour are assigned 1 point and white colour are also assigned 1 points.
- The red queen is assigned 3 points.
- Pocketing the queen must be followed by pocketing another carrom man on the same or subsequent strike.
- The first player to reach 25 points is declared the winner.
- If no player reaches 25 points, the player with the highest points is declared the winner. If the scores are tied, a tie-breaker must be played. Players who are tied (in points) select a colour. They are allowed to pocket carrom men of an alternate colour only on rebound.
- This style of play is common in some areas of East Asia.
