How to play Arkadium Nine-Ball Pool:
GOAL:
? Your goal is to be the one to pocket the 9 ball.
? You must always hit the LOWEST NUMBER billiard ball first with the cue ball.
? You may pocket balls out of order only if it is hit indirectly, either by another billiard ball or by the cue ball after it has hit a different billiard ball first.
? Only after all other balls have been pocketed may you hit the 9 ball directly.
? Should you pocket a 9 ball incorrectly (FOUL), it will reset to its original position, or as close to it as possible.
TURNS:
? You alternate turns with your opponent.
? When you pocket a ball correctly, you may shoot again. You can chain this effect multiple times.
? A foul will ruin your streak, negate your free shot, and pass the turn to the opponent.
? Any balls pocketed by a foul remain pocketed but reward no score. A 9 ball pocketed with a foul is reset to its original starting position (or as close to it as possible).
FOULS:
? You foul when:
? You do not hit any balls or cushion (table edge) with the cue ball.
? The first ball you hit does not touch anything else, is not pocketed, and does not hit a cushion.
? You hit a wrong ball first (not the one with the lowest number).
? You break the pyramid without any balls being pocketed and with less than four balls hitting cushions.
? You pocket a cue ball, with or without any other balls.
MOVING THE BALL:
? When permitted, one may place the cue ball manually to the desired position.
? While the cue ball is highlighted with a circle, you can drag it before striking.
? After your opponent fouls, you will always be able to do so; you can also drag the cue ball (in a limited area) while breaking the pyramid.
ENGLISH SPIN:
? You can spin the cue ball by aiming at specific points.
? The center: normal hit.
? Slightly below the center: STUNS the ball, making it stop dead after hit.
? Above the center: FOLLOW, moving in the same direction after hit.
? Below the center: DRAW, moving backwards after hit.
? Left and right: leans to left or right after the hit.
