Official description

There are three variations of the game in the program, including Tournament Pool and 8 Ball Pool, both for two players. If you have played before you can dive right in, but if this is your first time you will want to read the rules first to find out what the game is all about.

In 8 Ball Pool each player must pocket the balls of one colour, followed by the black. The players in Tournament Pool have to pocket called balls into called pockets - with points earned for successes and lost for 'scratches'.

If you want to try out your shots then Practice Pool is for you - the object being to pocket 15 balls as quickly as possible.
