8 Ball Billiards

How to play 8 Ball Billiards

Aim with the mouse or touch, set the power and take your shot. Fine-tune your aim with the arrow keys and use Cue Spin for follow, draw or side spin.

Pot your assigned solids or stripes before the 8 ball. Follow the highlighted legal targets; a foul gives the next player ball in hand, letting them choose a legal cue-ball position.
