Pool

Break, call your group and sink the 8-ball last. Fouls give your opponent ball in hand. Aim with the mouse or a finger, pull back to set power.

8-ball pool is played with a cue ball and fifteen numbered balls: solids (1–7), stripes (9–15) and the black 8-ball. One player takes the solids and the other the stripes, and the winner is the first to pot their whole group and then the 8-ball.

Our table uses real physics: balls collide and spin, and the pockets have real jaws, so a ball only drops when it enters the pocket cleanly. Aim with the guide, add top, back or side spin, and set your power.

How to play Pool

Break the rack. The table is open until someone pots a ball; that player then owns that group (solids or stripes).
Aim by moving the mouse or dragging on the table. The guide line and ghost ball show where the cue ball will go.
Pull back to set the power, then release to shoot. On a phone, use the power bar.
Keep shooting while you pot your own balls. A miss passes the turn.
Pot the 8-ball last to win. Potting it early, or scratching on it, loses the game.

Tips

Think about where the cue ball will stop, not just the ball you are potting.
Use backspin to stop the cue ball, and topspin to follow through.
Softer shots are more accurate and less likely to rattle out of the jaws.

Questions

What counts as a foul?

Potting the cue ball, missing every ball, hitting the wrong group first, or no ball reaching a cushion after contact. Your opponent then gets ball in hand anywhere on the table.

Can I practise alone?

Yes. Choose Practice to clear the table with no opponent.

Is there a shot clock?

Online games can use one, set by the host. Solo games are untimed.
