Score seven goals before the computer. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Review the board or playing area as it changes.
The order of play

How your actions work
Mouse/touch movement or Left/Right controls. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.
Learn from a sample situation
An angled hit can bank off a side wall. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Consider the next action carefully.
A common point of confusion
