"Black Ball" Game

Blackball is a cue-based game resembling pool, conducted on a rectangular table featuring six pockets. Participants engage with two distinct sets of balls: solids (numbered 1-7) and stripes (numbered 9-15), alongside the crucial black 8-ball. Competitors alternate turns aiming to sink their assigned category of balls—either solids or stripes—employing a cue stick. Victory is achieved by first clearing one's designated balls from the table, followed by a legitimate potting of the 8-ball. Mastery demands accuracy, tactical planning, and adept manipulation of the cue ball for effective gameplay.
