Billiards games

The break should be done with a cue ball in hand behind the head string. The object of 3 Ball is to have the fewest number of shots at the end of the round. So, say you and a friend decide to play 3 rounds. The player with the fewest shots in 2 out of the 3 rounds would win. It is possible for two players of similar skill to keep tying in 3 Ball, at which point the solution is to play until one person wins. As far as billiard games go, 7 Ball is one of the best, most fast-paced games out there.

This game is much like 9 Ball, but with a few key differences. This can easily be done with a diamond rack turned sideways on the foot spot.

The 1 ball should be at the apex, balls 2 through 6 running clockwise in a circle from the 1, with the 7 ball in the middle. In order for a break to be legal, the cue ball must hit the 1 ball first. If any ball is pocketed on the break, the player gets to continue shooting until a foul or miss occurs.

Once the break has been made, the non-breaking player chooses which long side of the table she will pocket the 7 ball in. The breaking player gets the other side of the table. The balls numbered 1 through 6 can be pocketed anywhere on the table, as long as the lowest numbered ball is hit first. The player who legally pockets the 7 ball first wins the game. This means pocketing the ball on the previously decided side of the table.

Normal foul rules apply to this billiard game, like scratching, pushing, and failing to hit an object ball. For a great three-person billiard game, look no further than Cut Throat. This game uses all 15 balls, the cue ball, and a standard pool table. The easiest and most fair way to assign numbers is before the game. Each player gets assigned ball groupings , , or You can do this by a coin flip, rock-paper-scissors, overall agreement, or any other way that all three players agree upon.

Rack the balls in the triangle, with the 1 ball at the apex on the foot spot, the 6 ball in one corner, and the 11 ball in the other.

The rest of the balls can be in random order. Usually the player breaks, followed by the other two players in ascending order. You win the game by being the only player left with any balls still on the table. Unless a foul is committed. When a player fouls in Cut Throat, the other two players get to remove one of their balls from a pocket and place it on the pool table, bolstering their chances of staying in the game.

Or, in the case of someone who was knocked out, they can get back in the game and shoot their turn while they still have at least one ball on the table.

Any balls replaced on the table should be put as close to the foot spot as possible without disturbing any balls currently in-play. A foul is considered a scratch, knocking any ball off the table, pushing the cue ball, double-touching the cue ball, or moving balls on the table in any other way than a legal shot with the cue.

Being the last player standing is how to win the game, and chances are the other two players will be itching for a rematch! In Bank Pool, all shots must be called and can only be legally potted as a result of a bank shot.

Meaning you can only pocket an object ball legally if you bounce it off one or more cushions. And you must call the cushions, the ball, and the pocket you intend to hit. This is what makes this pool table game such a challenge.

Racking is pretty straightforward in Bank Pool. You use all 15 balls plus the cue ball. The object balls can be placed in the triangle in any random order. As in other games, the rack should be as tight as possible and placed at the foot spot on the table. Who breaks can be determined by a coin flip or any other agreed-upon method you see fit. Players can shoot until they miss a shot, scratch, foul, or win the game. Any shot not called is considered illegal and any ball pocketed on illegal shots should be re-spotted at the foot spot of the table.

Or, as close to it as possible. The player who sinks more object balls legally wins the game of Bank Pool. So, the first player to sink 8 out of the 15 balls on the table wins the game.

Unless the player pocketed a ball unintentionally or illegally, at which point that ball or needs to be re-spotted immediately for play to continue. Straight Pool is a billiard game made famous by the movie The Hustler. All 15 object balls are used in the rack, in no particular order. Like other games, the apex ball should rest on the foot spot, and the cue ball should be shot from behind the head string. A legal break is one that either pockets an object ball or sends the cue ball and two object balls to a cushion.

Straight Pool is played to a predetermined score. Usually this is points, but it can be whatever the players agree upon initially. Each legally pocketed ball equals one point. Each foul is the loss of 1 point, unless a foul occurs on the break, then it means a loss of 2 points for the offending player.

If a player fouls 3 times in a row, it means a loss of 15 points. The object balls can be pocketed in any order, and each player shoots until they foul, scratch, or win the game. Since Straight Pool is continuous, once 14 balls have been pocketed the balls are re-racked and play continues.

This re-rack is only done with the 14 pocketed balls, leaving the 15th object ball and the cue ball as they were. The re-rack is done as it normally would be, but without the apex ball present. Once play continues, the shooting player tries to pocket the 15th object ball and hit the racked balls in one shot, in order to continue his or her run.

The first player to reach the predetermined score wins the game. Fouls in Straight Pool are much the same as in most other pool games. To make the game more challenging, you can employ a call-shot rule, meaning every shot has to be called in order to be legal. Either way you play, Straight Pool is lots of fun! The One Pocket pool table game limits each player to scoring in only one pocket at the foot of the table.

This limits the playing surface significantly and makes for an interesting and challenging pool game. All 15 object balls should be racked in a triangle formation. There is no specific order that you need to rack the balls in, as there is no order they need to be shot during gameplay. The player determined to break by coin flip, lag, or another method can choose one of the two pockets at the foot end of the table. The other player is assigned the other pocket. Re-spotted balls should be placed on or under the foot spot without interfering with the other balls in play.

The first player to pocket 8 balls in their assigned pocket wins the game. Only balls pocketed legally in the assigned pocket count.

A player can shoot at any ball, in any order, and can continue to shoot until he fouls, scratches, misses, or wins the game. For instance, the more skilled player can be required to pocket 10 balls before the other player pockets 6. There are many different variations to One Pocket that can make the game very interesting and extremely fun!

One of the easiest billiard games to play is 15 Ball. You need all 15 object balls and a cue ball. The rack in 15 Ball is a standard triangle, but with the 15 ball at the apex and on the foot spot. The rest of the balls can be racked in random order.

The game is won by the first player to reach 61 points. The number on each ball is the number of points the player will earn by pocketing that ball.

A score of 61 points is just over half of the total points on all 15 balls. So, you generally want to shoot for the highest-numbered ball first, as they will give you the most points. Unlike other pool games, the rules of 15 Ball are a little different. Each player gets one shot only. No matter if you miss or make the shot, the turn immediately goes to the next player. There is no running the table in 15 Ball. Fouls result in the cue ball in hand behind the head string for the opposing player, and a loss of 3 points for the offending player.
