Some basic terms used in 8-ball:
Cue Ball: The white ball with no number
8 Ball: The black ball
Object Balls (Solids): Numbered balls 1-7
Object Balls (Stripes): Numbered balls 9-15
Ball in Hand: When eligible, the player can freely place the cue ball anywhere on the table for the next shot.

(When you see the hand icon, it means you place the cue ball anywhere to shoot.)

Detailed Rules:
You need to know what balls you can pot.
1. The object balls are divided into solids and stripes. After the break shot, the first ball you pocket determines whether you are assigned solids or stripes for that game;




2. Only pocketing your designated balls allows you to score. If you pocket your opponent's ball, the score will be added to your opponent and your turn will end (unless both your and your opponent's balls are pocketed, in which case you retain the turn);

3. Only after pocketing all your designated balls can you attempt to pocket the 8-ball. If there are still other balls on the table, pocketing the 8-ball results in an immediate loss;

4. If you pocket the 8-ball at the same time as one of your designated balls, you lose the game.；

5. If you hit your opponent's ball, it is considered a foul even if your designated ball is pocketed, and your opponent gets the ball in hand





(The indicator will show whether you can shoot the ball.);

6. If you pocket the cue ball, the opponent gets the ball in hand;



Above are some basic rules. Let's start potting!
