Follow the example

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 controls nearby.

Keep this in mind

The keeper reacts after the shot, so aim matters. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
