The games
- 8-Ball: The game everyone knows. Easy to start, deep to master: planning your group, breaking up clusters and locking up your opponent.
- 9-Ball: Fast, aggressive and full of action. Runouts, push outs and the chance to win on any shot.
- 10-Ball: The shot-maker's game: call your shots, no slop, and a big rack that rewards real control.
- One Pocket: Pool's chess game. Every shot is offense and defense at once, and patience beats power.
- Banks: Every ball off a rail. For players who love angles, feel and a good gamble.
- Straight Pool: The classic: call every ball, rack after rack. The purest test of position play.
- Scotch Doubles: Pool with a partner, taking turns. Social, strategic and the most fun you can have losing a rack together.
