Break, claim your group and sink the 8 ball last
Pool 8 Ball sets up a straightforward eight-ball table with realistic ball physics. You break the rack, claim stripes or solids once you legally sink a ball, clear your group and finish on the 8 ball. Play solo against a timer to sharpen your shot-making, or take turns with a friend on the same screen in a two-player game.
How to play Pool 8 Ball
- Aim the cue around the white ball with your mouse or finger.
- Draw back and release to shoot, using just enough power to sink the ball.
- After the break, legally pocket a ball to claim either solids or stripes.
- Clear all seven of your group, then sink the 8 ball to win; pocketing it early loses the game.
Controls
| Mouse | Aim the cue around the cue ball |
|---|---|
| Mouse release | Take the shot |
| Swipe back and release | Aim and shoot on a touch screen |
Tips to play better
- Before each shot, decide where the cue ball should stop for your next shot, not just which ball you are sinking.
- Softer shots keep the cue ball under control; hard hits magnify small aiming errors.
- Break up clusters of your balls early while you still have other easy shots available.
- Play your last object ball so the cue ball stops with an easy, open look at the 8 ball.
