How it plays

  1. Score. Hit where they cannot reach. First to five points.
  2. One card. Tap a card that reaches the ball, then a gold ring to hit.
  3. Read them. Their hand is the four cards they did not just play.

The details

Run and hit
A card runs one free step, then the piece’s own move onto the ball, and hits along that same piece’s lines.
Their strip
Cycling back shows the four cards they just played. Hit where none of their other four reach.
Serve
From any square of your back row. Knights and kings cannot serve. Lose a point and you serve the next.
The clock
Eight seconds a shot, five online. Win by two; at 5-5 the next point wins.
