Your inputs
Touch to aim; sliders set power and angle; striker-position controls and Shoot. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
A closer look at one example
Queen and own man in one legal shot cover immediately. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Look for the relevant detail.
