Return to article: How to Play 8-Ball
on 11/22/2005 When playing, deal each player 5 cards. Each card goes with a certain ball. 1 = ace 2 = deuce, etc. To win the game, you must have your 5 balls sunk (not necessarily by you, so you don't need to go to win). You don't need to sink your own ball to continue your turn. All regular rules apply.
on 11/22/2005 When playing 8-ball, play one pocket. After you first pocket a called ball, you have to sink all your balls in that same pocket including the 8-ball. If you sink the 8-ball in the wrong pocket, you lose. (From Minnosota Fats' book.)
