The turn: A turn starts by hitting another ball (a roquet). This is followed by a croquet stroke. You then get a continuation stroke, which can be used to roquet another ball. Once you have roqueted all the other balls you must go through a hoop before you can roquet one of the balls again.

Roquet: (1) Blue roquets black 20 yards away. At this distance you are just trying to hit the ball. (2) Red roquets yellow 1 yard away. A short roquet is called a rush and is an important stroke as it allows you to take croquet from where you want to be instead of where you happen to be.

Croquet stroke: After Blue roquets Black it is placed in contact with Black, lined up with the intended direction of Black. This forms an angle with the intended direction of Blue, and Blue is struck on a line that bisects the angle. After the croquet stroke Blue has a continuation stroke.

More croquet strokes: Roll: Hit Pink on top of ball to impart forward spin. Stop shot: Hit Blue on the up so Yellow goes a lot further. Take-off: Balls lined up at right angles to intended direction, aim in so Brown just moves. Pass roll: striker’s ball (Red) goes further than croqueted ball.

Triple peel: The way to win in advanced play. Yellow is for 4-back and Red for 3. In a standard triple Red peels Yellow through 4-back after making 3 itself and through penultimate after making 6. The rover peel (not shown) is often done just before Red runs rover.
