Rules:

- For the very first turn, the player is allowed three attempts to "break," i.e., disturb the central group of counters. 

- For each strike, the player must position the striker within the baseline OR on one of the two circles at either end of the baseline. 

- A striker within the baseline must touch both the front line and the rear line and may not "cut the moon." 

- If a striker pockets the Queen and/or one or more pieces of her own color, the player retrieves the striker and takes another strike. 

- If the player pockets no pieces or commits a foul, the turn finishes. 

- A player may only pocket and cover the Queen if that player has already pocketed at least one piece of that player's color. 

- When a player pockets the Queen but does not cover it, the Queen is returned as near as possible to the Centre circle by the opponent. 

- Pieces returned to the center can be placed on top of other pieces within the main circle. 

• Fouls:
• - The striker is pocketed. 
• - The striker or any other piece leaves the board. 
• - A player pockets an opponent's piece. If the Queen was also pocketed, it is returned to the center by the opponent together with the penalty piece. Any other pieces pocketed in the same strike remain pocketed. 
• - A player pockets the final opponent's piece. Regardless of whether the Queen has been covered, the opponent's piece is returned to the center in addition to the penalty piece. 
• - A player pockets the final piece before the Queen has been covered. In this case, both the pocketed piece and a penalty piece are returned to the center. 
• - A player contravenes the rules for striking. 
• - A player touches any piece in play, other than the striker. 
•  
• Winning the Game:
• Players scoring the highest points through pocketing pieces will be declared the winner of the game.
