The Eight-Ball is a popular billiards game played on a rectangular table with six pockets. It uses a cue ball and 15 colored balls, including one black ball numbered eight. The objective is to pocket all of your designated balls—either stripes or solids—before sinking the eight ball. Players take turns using a cue stick to strike the cue ball, aiming to hit their balls into the pockets. The game ends when a player legally pockets the eight ball after clearing their own balls. Eight-Ball is often played in casual settings, as well as in competitive tournaments.
