How to use the controls

One way to understand the rules

An edge target may beat the keeper but must stay within the posts. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Keep the game’s format in mind.

A mistake to avoid

The keeper reacts after the shot, so aim matters. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
