The objective of a round
Complete ten frames and maximise the score. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. The example below illustrates a decision.
Making your moves
- 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. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
A useful example
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. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Keep the game’s format in mind.
A useful caution
Bonus-dependent frames may not yet have a confirmed total. Check the rule before repeating the action. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
