8 Ball Pool Instructions

The objective of the game is for each player to pocket all of their balls (striped or solid) and then pocket the 8 ball to win the game.

Setting up the table:

Place the 1 ball at the top of the triangle.

Place the 8 ball in the middle of the triangle.

Place one striped ball and one solid ball in each back corner of the triangle. The remaining balls are randomly arranged in a triangle.

A player will "snap" the balls, i.e. hit the cue ball (white ball) at the balls arranged in the triangle to separate them. If the player pockets at least one ball, they continue their turn. If not, the turn passes to their opponent.

A player must pocket all their balls (striped or solid) before attempting to pocket the 8 ball. If a player pockets the 8 ball before pocketing all their balls, they lose the game. The player wins the game if the 8 ball is pocketed correctly after all other balls have been pocketed.
