Step by step

- Cover the queen with an own-colour man in the same or next shot.
- Striker fouls return one own pocketed man if available.

A useful example
Queen and own man in one legal shot cover immediately. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Notice the change in the playing area.
Watch out for this
The last own man returns if the queen remains uncovered. A different version of the game may use a different rule. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
