Blackball is a cue sport akin to pool, played on a rectangular table equipped with six pockets. The game features two categories of balls: solid-colored balls numbered 1-7 and striped balls numbered 9-15, along with the black 8-ball. Players alternate turns, aiming to pocket all the balls from their assigned group—either solids or stripes—using a cue stick. The ultimate goal is to clear one’s group and then lawfully pocket the 8-ball to secure victory. Success in this game demands precision, strategic thinking, and excellent control of the cue ball throughout gameplay.
