How to play Billiards
- Choose the computer (easy, medium or hard) or two players, then press Start.
- Break: move the cue ball anywhere behind the line, then drag back and let go to shoot. The further you pull, the harder the shot.
- Your first pot after the break decides your group: solids (1 to 7) or stripes (9 to 15).
- Pot all of your group, then the 8. Keep shooting while you pot your own balls.
Frequently asked questions
- What counts as a foul?
- Missing every ball, hitting the other group (or the 8 too early) first, and potting the cue ball. After a foul the other player gets the cue ball in hand and can place it anywhere.
- When do I lose?
- If the 8 goes in before you have cleared your group, or on the same shot as a foul. If it drops on the break, it is put back on its spot and play goes on.
- How do I aim precisely?
- Follow the guide line to the ball it will hit; on easy and medium (and with two players) a ghost ball shows where the cue ball will touch it. With a keyboard, the left and right arrows turn the cue; hold Shift for fine turns, and set the power with up and down.
- Can I play on a phone?
- Yes. On a narrow screen the table stands upright, and you drag back with a finger to shoot.
- Is my record saved?
- Your wins and losses against the computer are kept in this browser on this device. Nothing is sent anywhere.
