8 Ball Pool: How to Play & Install 8 Ball Pool on your iPhone

A game that almost everyone enjoys, 8 ball pool requires accuracy, precision, and a little bit of strategy to win. There are many games available for you to play right now in the iMessage store, but nothing compares to the oldies.

For those who are new, 8 Ball Pool is a game in which, as the name suggests, 8 balls are split into stripes and solids. Whoever pockets the first ball must remain with that particular group throughout the entire game and must pocket every ball before their rival.

Your opponent is free to place their ball anywhere on the board in this scenario; however, the cue ball must not directly contact their ball. Hitting your opponent’s ball indirectly is also a foul. The first person to correctly pocket every ball wins the game.

• Next, pick “8 Ball” from the menu by clicking the grid that displays on your screen.

• Tap one of the options given under “GAME MODE” to select the game mode. The “8 Ball” option is the normal game mode, whereas the “8 Ball+” option just doubles the number of balls in your game to prolong gameplay.

• Next, decide which degree of difficulty you prefer. In the “Normal” option, the ball you try to strike will be projected down a route; however, the “Hard” difficulty level will not offer you aim assistance.

• You can further customize your cue stick by tapping the “CUSTOMIZE” tile adjacent to the “GAME MODE” area. However, practically all of the available options can only be accessed through in-app purchases for the app.

How To Play 8 Ball Pool & Invite?

• The other person gets to go first because you extended the invitation.

• Tap on the “YOUR MOVE” tile to begin your turn when your adversary has finished.

• Now, line the cue ball’s course with the target ball by dragging your finger laterally across the screen. After that, tap the cue ball picture that can be seen on the right side of the pool table. The cue ball image will then display on your screen as an overlay.

• To change the red dot-indicated hitting location of the cue on the ball after that, tap the cue ball. This gives you greater control over your cue ball after you’ve struck it. 

• Then look for the “cue stick” icon on the left side of the pool board. Once you have the proper power for the shot, release the stick by tapping-holding and dragging your finger downward.

• Each player will have their own group of balls to pocket once they have each pocketed a ball. Your player icon will have your group type next to it.

• A cross mark on the opponent’s ball indicates that it is not yours to pocket if you aim for it. 

• You obtain the ball in hand if your opponent hits your group of balls or pockets the cue ball during their turn, which effectively gives you control over where the cue ball goes for your subsequent turn.

• Additionally, if any player pockets the “8” (black) ball even incidentally throughout the game, they lose immediately and the opposing player takes home the victory.

• The game is won by the one who can collect all of their group balls the quickest.
