Build it yourself: two players

What we are doing

Pool is better with a friend. Make it a game for two players taking turns: you keep shooting while you pocket a ball; a shot that pockets nothing, or a scratch, passes the turn to the other player.

Your turn

• Keep whose turn it is in player (1 or 2); a new game starts with player 1.
• When everything stops: if the shot pocketed no numbered ball, or the cue ball went in, the turn passes to the other player. Otherwise the same player shoots again.
• Show Player 1 or Player 2 above the table.
