A careful first round
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Notice the feedback after each input.
Your goal
Complete ten frames and maximise the score. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. The example below illustrates a decision.
Step by step
- Set lane position and power.
- Roll into the rack.
- A strike ends a normal frame; otherwise roll again.
- The tenth can earn bonus rolls.
Controls
Lane-position/power sliders and Roll ball. Use the control method described here for this activity. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.
A useful example
A strike followed by 4 and 5 scores 19; a spare followed by 7 scores 17. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Notice the change in the playing area.
Watch out for this
Bonus-dependent frames may not yet have a confirmed total. Check the rule before repeating the action. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
