8-ball

In 8-ball pool, the game is played with a cue ball and object balls numbered from 1 to 15.

One player must pocket balls of solid colors (1-7), while the other player must pocket the striped balls (9-15).

The player that pockets their entire group of balls is then allowed to pocket the black 8-ball. Successfully pocketing the 8-ball results in a win.

9-ball

9-ball pool is played with object balls numbered 1 through 9.

Any object ball can be sunk each turn, but the cue ball must first strike the lowest numbered ball on the table for a legal hit to occur.

The game is won by the first player to pot the 9 ball.

Trickshots

In the trickshot game mode, points are awarded for potting balls with various trick shots.

Trickshot mode can be played in 8-ball or 9-ball pool, and with one or two players. Normal pool rules apply except the following:

• Players must attempt a trick shot on each turn. Sinking a valid ball without performing a trick shot results in a loss of their turn.
• The player with the highest score at the end of the game wins, rather than the player that sinks the game-ending ball.
• Players receive a 10 point penalty when they sink their opponent’s ball.
• In a 2v2 trickshot game, each team's scores are summed at the end of the game. The team with the highest combined score wins the game.

Trickshot Rules

Blind Shot (10 pts): An object ball is pocketed with aim lines turned off.

Combo shot (20 pts): An object ball strikes another object ball into motion, and the second object ball is potted.

Bank shot (30 pts): An object ball bounces off a rail before being potted.

Kick shot (40 pts): Cue ball bounces off a rail before striking an object ball.

Kiss shot (50 pts): A ball bounces off another ball before striking an object ball that is then potted.
