The order of play
- White starts; set striker aim and power.

The controls to know
Touch to aim; sliders set power and angle; striker-position controls and Shoot. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.
One way to understand the rules
Queen and own man in one legal shot cover immediately. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Choose a deliberate next step.
A useful caution
The last own man returns if the queen remains uncovered. Check the rule before repeating the action. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
