Rules
The round goes like this:
Player one throws the Jack
Player one throws the first bowl
Next, the turn goes to the player whose bowl is NOT closest to the Jack
When a player has used all his bowls, the turn goes to the other player until round is over
Winner of the round gets additional points for each bowl that's closer to the Jack than the other player's bowl
Win the game if you reach a certain number of points.
Starting the game
Throw the Jack, then your 1st Bowl
You have four balls. Each one of you gets four shots. Closest Bowl to the red ball gets the point.
How to play Bowls
Use L to move
Use R to aim
Press A/X to throw
Your "Jack" blinks red
Press B/Circle to CHANGE the throw type
Press LB to activate the tactical camera
Bowls Strategies
The Bigger the blue space the more wild the throw is
The smaller it gets you can pinpoint your shot
So time your shot for when the blue circle radius is small
Use the high trajectory for a more accurate shot, or low trajectory to knock other balls out of the way
Try to position your bowl between Connor and the Jack
Try to knock opposing bowls out of the way
