Step by step
- 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.
Controls
Touch to aim; sliders set power and angle; striker-position controls and Shoot. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
A useful example
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.
Watch out for this
The last own man returns if the queen remains uncovered. Compare the situation with the worked example. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
