Your objective
Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
Follow these playing steps
- Set lane position and power.
- Roll into the rack.
- A strike ends a normal frame; otherwise roll again.
- The tenth can earn bonus rolls.
How your actions work
Lane-position/power sliders and Roll ball. 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
A strike followed by rolls of 4 and 5 makes the strike frame worth 19. An ordinary frame of 4 and 5 is worth 9. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Keep the game’s format in mind.
Notice this detail
Bonus-dependent frames may not yet have a confirmed total. Compare the situation with the worked example. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
