How a round unfolds
- White starts; set striker aim and power.

- 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. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. A new-round button replaces the current round.
One way to understand the rules
Queen and own man in one legal shot cover immediately. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Verify the rule before continuing.
An important reminder
The last own man returns if the queen remains uncovered. Compare the situation with the worked example. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
