Poolball Rules
How does Poolball work? It follows the usual rules of pool. One team starts by kicking the white cue ball towards the other balls, which are arranged in a triangle. The first ball potted determines whether that team plays stripes or solids. You may only touch the cue ball once per turn. You must not touch the other balls directly; they can only be moved by the cue ball. Once your team has potted all its balls, you can aim for the black ball. The first team to pot the black ball correctly wins.
