Common fouls
Fouls that will result in a ball in hand for the other player
Running out of time: you have a short amount of time to take your shot, so don’t take too long or play passes to the other player. Your time gets a little shorter with every ball you pot in a game.
Cue ball not hitting your own balls: if the white doesn’t make contact with one of your own balls before hitting your opponent’s balls, or it misses altogether, this is a foul.
No ball hitting the rail: if neither the object ball nor the cue ball hit the rail around the edge of the table, this is a foul. This is to designed to prevent negative play
Potting the 8 Ball: the following situations are fouls, and result in the win being awarded to the other player.
Potting the 8 Ball before all your object balls have been potted.
Potting the cue ball and the 8 Ball on the same shot.
Potting any coloured ball before the 8 Ball on the same shot.
In a tier that requires calling pocket on the 8 Ball, potting the 8 Ball into an uncalled pocket.
Game mechanics
Breaking off
If you get to break off, you can move the cue ball anywhere in the space to the left of the white line.
If you pot one of more balls during your break you get another turn. However, the table will remain “open” so you can choose if you want pot the spots or stripes.
However, any spotted or striped balls potted during the break won’t count until you pot either pattern during your next turn.
If you pot the cue ball on your break, the opponent gets a ball in hand.
Having a ball in hand
You will be able to move the cue ball anywhere on the table. Hover the mouse over the cue ball and it will change to a hand symbol for you to pick the ball up.
On Mobile just swipe to drag the ball around the table.
Using spin
Spin can help you better position the cue ball after you’ve taken a shot, setting you up for your next one. You can also use it to snooker your opponent or stop you from potting the cue ball on your turn.
You can put spin on the ball by moving the red symbol on the cue ball with your mouse or using the arrow keys. That will cause the ball to spin in that direction after it’s hit a ball.
On Mobile, all you need to do is tap the cue ball in the top right of the screen and move the red circle to apply spin in that direction.
