Cutthroat Pool

Cutthroat Pool has very similar rules to 8 ball. The object of the game is to pocket your opponent's balls in the most effective way. If the shot does not reach a pocket, it is illegal. The winner is the one who has all of his/her balls pocketed. If not the winning player is declared the winner, the remaining balls will be assigned to the other participants.

One-Pocket Pool

One-Pocket Pool consists of a variant on straight pool in that the object balls are shot towards a specific pocket on a table. A player may choose any object ball and any ball that ends up in the target pocket on an otherwise legal stroke is a "scored ball." The player who fouls three times in a row loses the game.

9-Ball

A pool table can host nine-ball games with a pool pool cue or a tableball. However, these games have different rules than other pool games. In 9-Ball pool, for example, you cannot call all the shots. The player who can the 9 ball is the winner of the frame. Although 9-Ball pool is similar to 8-Ball Pool, penalties in 9 Ball games are different. In 9-Ball Pool, players are restricted to shooting on the lowest-numbered of the balls on the table.


Rotation

There are many pool table games that revolve around rotation. Pocket billiards is an example of a type of rotation. In order to pocket the balls, players must contact the lowest numbered number with their cue ball. To ensure that the ball counts are accurate, it is essential to keep track of which number each ball is. When a player fails or can't pocket a basketball, the turn is over. Any illegally taken balls are retracted.

Wooden Kelly marbles

Billiards games use wooden Kelly marbles. They can be combined with a Kelly shaker. You can use them by up to 16 players. These marbles are available in both stores and online.
