About the game
Pocket billiards: pot every ball with the black one last. Potting them in ascending order earns extra points. Plan each shot for the next one.
Pool is the pocket billiards played in bars everywhere, and here you play it solo, against the table. You strike the others with the white cue ball and pot them into six pockets. The black 8 has to go last, and potting the balls from low to high earns extra points.
Pool Billiard belongs to the Billiards variant in the Sports and racing world and joined the catalogue on January 9, 2017. The rules, levels and on-screen language are set by the game’s creator, and a short guide appears on its start screen.
How to play
- Aim the cue ball at the ball you want to pot.
- Judge the power of the shot.
- Pot the balls into the pockets, ideally in order from low to high.
- Pot the black ball only at the very end.
Three tips for pool
- Before a shot, think where the cue ball will stop, that is half your next shot.
- A softer shot is often more accurate.
- Leave balls by the pockets for later if they block your path to others.
