You need to understand the rules when playing 8 Ball Pool

Conquer the 8 ball

The ultimate goal of the game 8 Ball Pool is to clear the table by pocketing all the balls from your designated group, either the striped or the solid-colored ones. Right from the moment the first ball is sunk, each player is assigned a group, and the real challenge begins.

With every shot, you’ll need precision, strategy, and a bit of luck to outplay your opponent. But the game doesn’t end there, after sinking all your group’s balls, the final and most thrilling task awaits: pocketing the black 8 ball. Do it correctly, and victory is yours. Miss it, and the win could slip right into your rival’s hands.

How to determine your ball group?

Immediately after the first shot, if either player successfully puts the ball into the hole, that group of balls (striped or solid) will belong to that player.

For instance, if you sink a striped ball into the pocket first, you’ll continue playing with striped balls for the rest of the game. Your opponent will then take the solid-colored balls.

Important rules that cannot be ignored

There are two golden rules in 8 Ball Pool that you must remember:

  • Do not hit the 8 ball too early. If you accidentally put the 8 ball in the pocket before completing your group of balls, you will lose immediately.
  • Make sure not to sink the cue ball. If it goes into a pocket, your opponent gets a big advantage by being able to reposition the cue ball freely on the table for their next turn.
  • If you accidentally hit your opponent's ball, they will still be recognized and you will lose the advantage. Therefore, when playing, you need to determine which group of balls is on your side so as not to accidentally hit your opponent and score points for them.

Who will be the real pool master?

In this exciting two-player game, both players share the same device and take turns using the mouse to line up their shots and strike. Each turn is a test of skill and accuracy, if a player fails to hit any ball, their turn ends instantly, giving the opponent a chance to take over.

The battle continues in this back-and-forth rhythm until one player successfully pockets all of their designated balls. But the real thrill comes at the end, whoever sinks the black 8 ball in a legal shot after clearing their group will be crowned the winner.
