About the game

A dexterity game that is a combination of regular pool and Tic-Tac-Toe. Each player has five balls that they shoot into the nine holes in the middle of the board, trying to form three in a row. The winner of a round is the first to pocket three in a row or pocket all 5 of their balls (each worth 1 point). Should a player pocket all 5 balls and form two rows that is worth 3 points. A game is to a mutually agreed total of points. Pocketed balls remain as obstacles on the board, making further shots more difficult. In the "easy" game you flick the balls directly. The "medium" game is also direct flicking, but balls must rebound or be the result of a combination to be pocketed. In the "professional" game you use a blue "cue" ball, which introduces more strategic options such as safety play.
