FAQ
What is the main objective of the game?
The main goal is to pocket all the balls from one group, either striped or solid, and then successfully pocket the 8-ball.
Can I win by pocketing the 8-ball first?
No, you must first pocket all of your designated group of balls before you can legally pocket the 8-ball to win.
How do I determine which group of balls I am playing with?
Once the balls are broken, players can choose either the striped or solid balls based on the first ball they legally pocket.
What happens if I pocket the 8-ball prematurely?
If you pocket the 8-ball before clearing your group, it results in a loss of the game.
Are there any specific rules for breaking the balls?
Yes, during the break, at least four balls must hit the cushions or a ball must be pocketed for the break to be considered legal.
