Pool 8

The table is set before you touch anything: 15 numbered balls packed into a triangle on the right, the white cue ball on the left, and a dotted line already running from the cue ball toward the rack. Pool 8 is a free 8 ball pool game you play in your browser. You aim the cue, pull back the power bar, break the rack and race a friend or a bot to clear your group of balls and sink the black 8.

Game Controls

• Aim the cue: DRAG with the MOUSE or a finger
• Set the power: drag the cue down in the POWER BAR on the left
• Shoot: RELEASE the power bar

How It Works

Pool 8 opens on an empty green table with 2 choices: 2 players for a match on one device, or Player vs Bot for a game against the computer. A Statistics button keeps track of your results, and a Settings button sits in the other corner. Once a match starts, the classic 8 ball rack appears with solids, stripes and the black 8 ball in the middle.

Every shot has two steps. First you drag to turn the cue around the cue ball, and a dotted guide line shows where the cue ball will travel, with a small ghost ball marking where it meets the first object ball. Then you pull the cue down inside the power bar on the left side of the table. The further you pull, the more colors fill the bar from blue to red, and the harder the shot. Release, and the cue strikes. Pocketed balls are tracked in the racks under the table, one for each player.

1. Choose 2 players or Player vs Bot.
2. Drag to aim the cue at the rack for the break.
3. Pull the cue down in the power bar to set the strength.
4. Release to take the shot.
5. Pocket balls from your group, solids or stripes.
6. Use the guide line and ghost ball to line up each pot.
7. Clear your group, then sink the black 8 to win.

What Makes It Stand Out

• 2 ways to play: Face a friend on the same device or take on a bot.
• Aim guide: A dotted line and a ghost ball show exactly where the cue ball goes.
• Visible power bar: Colors from blue to red show how hard you are hitting.
• Classic rack: 15 balls with solids, stripes and the black 8 ball.
• Statistics: A results screen keeps your record across matches.
• Ball racks: Each player's pocketed balls line up under the table.

Getting Started

• Break hard in Pool 8. A strong break spreads the rack and opens easy shots.
• Trust the ghost ball. It shows where the cue ball will make contact.
• Use less power on short shots. The blue end of the bar is enough for balls near a pocket.
• Practice against the bot. It is a calm way to learn the power bar before playing a friend.

Going Further

Pool 8 is won by thinking about the next shot, not just this one. A soft pot that leaves the cue ball in the middle of the table gives you more options than a hard pot that sends it into a cushion. Watch where your group's balls sit after the break and clear the ones near pockets first. Save the black 8 for last and make sure you have a clean line to it before the final ball of your group drops. The Statistics screen is a good way to see whether your game against the bot is improving.

Mistakes Worth Avoiding

• Hitting every shot at full power. The cue ball flies around and often leaves you nothing.
• Ignoring the guide line. A small aiming error grows across a long table.
• Rushing the black 8. Line it up carefully, since the match ends on that shot.
• Forgetting your group. Check the racks under the table to see which balls are yours.
