Classic pool game. Sink your balls, then the 8-ball to win.
How to Play 8 Ball Billiards
8 Ball Billiards Classic brings the world's most popular pool game to your browser. You and your opponent each claim a set of balls — solids or stripes. Sink all your balls first, then pocket the 8-ball to win. But be careful: sinking the 8-ball too early is an automatic loss.
Aim with your mouse or finger, adjust your power, and shoot. The game features realistic physics — English (spin), follow shots, and bank shots all work as you'd expect on a real pool table.
Pool Tips for Beginners
- Aim for the pocket, not the ball: Visualize the path from the cue ball through the target ball to the pocket
- Soft shots sink more: Beginners tend to hit too hard — gentle shots are more accurate and keep balls closer to pockets
- Plan 2-3 shots ahead: Think about where the cue ball will end up after each shot — position is everything in pool
- Use the rails: Bank shots off the cushion can reach balls blocked by other balls
