About 8 Ball Pool

8 Ball Pool brings the classic billiards experience to your browser with realistic physics, precision aiming, and satisfying cue mechanics. Each game starts with a break shot that scatters the 15 object balls, and you are assigned either solids or stripes based on the first ball pocketed. The drag-to-aim cue system provides intuitive control over shot direction and power, while an aiming guide helps you line up bank shots and combinations. Pocket all seven of your assigned balls, then sink the 8 ball in a called pocket to win. The physics engine accurately simulates spin, english, and cushion rebounds, rewarding players who understand real billiards techniques. Playing against the AI opponent on various difficulty levels teaches you to plan several shots ahead and manage cue ball position. It is one of the most popular casual sports games for good reason.

How to Play

  1. Aim the cue by dragging, then set your shot power and release to strike
  2. Pocket either all stripes or all solids based on your first successful pot
  3. Plan cue ball position for your next shot by controlling power and angle
  4. Sink all your balls and then pocket the 8 ball to win the game
