Cutthroat Pool

Cutthroat Pool is a game that's very similar to 8-ball. The objective of the game, as the name suggests, is to steal your opponent's ball in the most efficient way. If the shot does not reach a pocket, it is illegal. The player with the most balls is declared the winner. If not, the rest of the balls are for the other players.

One-Pocket Pool

One-Pocket Pool is a variation on straight pool where the object balls are shot to a specific pocket on the table. A player may choose any object ball and any ball that ends up in the target pocket on an otherwise legal stroke is a "scored ball." A player who fouls three consecutively loses the game.

9-Ball

On a pool table, you can play nine-ball with a cue and a ball. These games are different from other pool games. For example, 9-Ball pool does not allow you to call all the shots. The player who puts the 9-ball on the table is declared the frame winner. While 9-Ball pool has similar penalties to 8-Ball, 9-Ball pools allows players to shoot only the lowest-numbered ball at the table.


Rotation

There are many pool table games that revolve around rotation. Pocket billiards is an example of a type of rotation. To pocket the ball in this game, the player must contact the lowest-numbered ball using their cue. To ensure that the ball counts are accurate, it is essential to keep track of which number each ball is. The game ends when the player has not been able to get a ball or is done. Any illegally taken balls are retracted.

Wooden Kelly marbles

For billiards, wooden Kelly marbles may be used. They can be used with a Kelly shaker. They can be used by two to sixteen players. These marbles can be purchased in shops or online.
