How to play Online Pool
Goal. Pot all seven balls of your group, solids or stripes, and then the 8 ball.
Taking a shot
- Drag on the table to aim, set the power with the slider and press Shoot. With a mouse you can also pull back from the cue ball and let go.
- The spin picker moves the cue tip: top makes the cue ball follow on, bottom draws it back, left and right change the angle off a cushion.
- Your opponent sees the shot replayed on their table as soon as you play it.
Groups
- After the break the table is open. The first ball legally potted decides the groups: that player takes solids (1–7) or stripes (9–15).
- Pot a ball of your group and you shoot again. Miss and the turn passes.
Fouls
- It is a foul to pot the cue ball, to hit nothing, to hit a ball that is not yours first, or to leave every ball short of a cushion after contact.
- After a foul your opponent has ball in hand: they may put the cue ball anywhere on the table before shooting. On the break it stays behind the head line.
The 8 ball
- Once your group is cleared, pot the 8 to win.
- Potting the 8 early, or fouling on the shot that pots it, loses the game. An 8 potted on the break is put back on its spot.
