"I don't really think the rules matter," April sighes. The game will be difficult since the balls are hedgehogs, and the croquet mallets are flamingos, and the balls don't like being hit nor do the croquet mallets like being used.

The Queen's soldiers are the arches, and they will move to ensure the Queen's balls make their mark. While the other players miss.

And each player will be taken out of the game... until it is just the Queen and 'Alice' left in the game. Just like in the book. April stands at the sidelines, watching again once she is unable to play any further.
