  • Tips and tricks
    • Take it easy
      • Your shots should be a balance of strength and finesse.
      • Don’t shoot too hard lest you pocket the cue ball by accident.
      • Shots that aren’t too strong will also help you avoid pocketing your opponent’s ball.
      • Gentle shots also make sure that the cue ball doesn’t stray into an awkward part of the table.
    • Consider the angle of the ball.
      • Try to shoot the ball in an angle that brings it closer to the pockets.
      • This can be tricky from a long distance.
      • Sometimes the ball bounces off the hole and avoids falling in.
    • Other tips
      • Think outside the box. Sometimes the direct path isn’t always the best one.
      • If you can’t pocket a ball in your turn, consider making a shot that puts the cue in a more awkward position. This can make things harder for your opponent on their turn.
• Target Audience
  • The game is suited for billiards fans of all ages.
  • The game has no adult themed content.
