A focus for your next round
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Notice the feedback after each input.
Understand the aim

See the idea in action
A strike followed by rolls of 4 and 5 makes the strike frame worth 19. An ordinary frame of 4 and 5 is worth 9. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Keep the controls nearby.
Keep this in mind
Bonus-dependent frames may not yet have a confirmed total. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
