HOW TO PLAY
1
Place coins in the center circle, alternating colors, with the queen in the middle.
2
Players flick the striker from their baseline to pocket their assigned coin color.
3
Pocketing your own coin scores a point and another turn; pocketing the opponent's gives them a point.
4
The queen can be pocketed anytime but must be "covered" by pocketing one of your own coins right after.
5
If the striker itself falls in, return one pocketed coin as a penalty.
6
First to pocket all coins plus the covered queen wins the round.
