Standard 8-Ball Rules
The game starts with an "Open Table". The first player to pocket a colored ball (excluding the 8-ball) is assigned that group (Solids or Stripes) for the rest of the game.
How to Win
Pocket all balls of your assigned group (Solids or Stripes), then successfully pocket the black 8-ball to win the match.
Fouls & Scratch
A foul occurs if you pocket the cue ball (scratch) or fail to hit any ball. When a scratch occurs, the opponent gets "Ball in Hand" and can place the cue ball anywhere on the table before striking.
Instant Loss Conditions
- Pocketing the 8-ball before all your group balls are cleared.
- Pocketing the 8-ball and scratching on the same shot.
Controls
- Aim: Drag/touch anywhere on the table to rotate the cue stick, or use the interactive Aim Wheel for ultra-precision.
- Strike: Adjust the power slider and tap STRIKE CUE.
