Tap anywhere, and drag to aim the cue stick. Release to apply force to the white, cue ball. Releasing from where you originally tapped will cancel it. 2 players alternate between turns. When no ball has been shot to any hole, any player can shoot a ball, called "pocket", either solid or striped. The first player to pocket a ball is now assigned to shoot that group of solid balls, or striped balls - that player is still on their turn. Their turn ends when the player shoots, but does not pocket any ball of their respective group. The 8-ball, colored black, is a special type of ball. The player must pocket all their respective balls first, before pocketing it, in order to win. If the 8-ball is pocketed before they cleared it, they lose immediately. If the cue ball is pocketed, the player's turn ends. It is placed back to its starting position.
