From the start of a round
- White starts; set striker aim and power.
- Own-colour pockets earn another shot.
- Cover the queen with an own-colour man in the same or next shot.
- Striker fouls return one own pocketed man if available.
- Finish your colour after a covered queen.
Making selections and moves
Touch to aim; sliders set power and angle; striker-position controls and Shoot. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Use one clear input at a time.
Work through an example
Queen and own man in one legal shot cover immediately. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Keep the controls nearby.
An important reminder
The last own man returns if the queen remains uncovered. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
