Eight-Ball

How to play

• Aim by moving the pointer over the cloth — the white line shows the cue ball's path, the yellow one where the object ball goes.
• Shoot by holding the left button (or Space) to fill the power bar, then releasing.
• Look around by dragging with the right button or with Shift held; the wheel zooms. V drops you behind the cue ball.
• Ball in hand after a foul: click anywhere on the cloth to put the cue ball down.

The rules it plays

• Break from behind the head string. A legal break pots a ball or drives four to a rail.
• The table stays open until someone legally pots a ball after the break — the first ball down that shot assigns solids or stripes.
• Hit one of your own group first, then pot a ball or drive any ball to a rail, or it is a foul.
• A foul hands the opponent ball in hand anywhere on the table.
• Clear your group, then pot the 8 to win. The 8 down early, or a scratch on it, loses. On the break it is simply spotted back up.
• Shots are not called, as in most bar play.
