      • You can only pocket balls of your own color after that point.
      • Use the guidelines to estimate where the ball you target might go.
    • Rules

      • Shoot the balls into the pockets using the cue ball.
        • How well the cue ball can sink the other balls depends on the force of your shot and the location where you hit the cue ball.

        • In versus human games, Player 1 goes first. Decide between you and your playmate who gets this designation.
