In the game, if a player gets the striker into the hole instead of the pieces available, then the player has to put up a piece of the particular color in the middle of the board.
If a player strikes the piece of the opposite player and the piece is pocketed then the player has to put up a piece of the color in the middle of the board as a foul.
Another type of foul is when the player pockets the last piece available without pocketing the queen and thus it results in no cover for the queen. In this situation, the player has to put up two pieces in the middle of the board.
This foul occurs if a player touches any piece besides the striker available.
The another type of foul is when a player crosses the given rectangle and touches the outer line which results in the punishment of keeping a particular color piece in the middle.
