How to Play:
Objective: The objective of Pool 8 Ball is to pocket all of your assigned balls (stripes or solids) and then pocket the 8-ball to win the game.
Break Shot: One player starts by taking the break shot, aiming to hit the racked balls with the cue ball to scatter them across the table.
Pocketing Balls: After the break, players take turns trying to pocket their assigned balls (stripes or solids). A player continues their turn as long as they keep pocketing balls.
Calling Shots: Players must call their shots before taking them, indicating which ball they intend to pocket and into which pocket.
8-Ball: Once all of a player's assigned balls are pocketed, they can then attempt to pocket the 8-ball to win the game. However, players must be careful not to pocket the 8-ball too early or scratch, as this results in an automatic loss.
Winning the Game: The game is won by the player who successfully pockets all of their assigned balls and the 8-ball without fouling.
Fouls: Fouls can occur if a player:
- Fails to hit any balls or the cue ball fails to make contact with a rail after the break (scratching).
- Pockets the cue ball.
- Fails to hit the intended ball.
- Pockets the 8-ball before all of their assigned balls.
Multiplayer: In multiplayer mode, players take turns on the same device, following the same rules as outlined above.
