That wraps up the list of fun games you can play in your game room. Sometimes it can be tricky to keep track of the points, so make sure to get a cabinet with a blackboard included!
The goal is to reach EXACTLY 0 points (You can’t score 15 if you have 5 points left). Each player starts with 301 points and has to subtract points from his score by hitting numbers on the dartboard. Like billiards, there are many ways to play darts, but the most popular one (and the one you’re probably familiar with) is the 301. There’s just something about this game that instantly gives the room a bar-like atmosphere. Personally, I can’t imagine a game room without a dartboard cabinet inside it. You can make the game more serious by having to call all shots or keep it more casual and allow the occasional lucky shot. To play the game, rack the balls in the following way: 15 in the middle, 1 at the apex of the rack, and balls 2 and 3 in the right and left rear corners accordingly.
The great thing about it is that it can be played with more than just 2 players. So, for example, if the winner must score 100 points, you play a game, and after sinking the 15th ball, you re-rack and continue playing until someone reaches that goal. The player who first reaches the agreed-point target wins. You play the game the same way (sinking balls in rising number order), but now you earn points for each score.īalls 1-10 are worth 1 point each. You sink the balls in rising order, and the player who scores the last one wins.īut to make the game more exciting, you can play for points. While playing 15-balls, you have a few variations to choose from. Dave keeps this site commercial free, with no ads.Another great variation that doesn’t require any additional accessories. Other variations can be found in Bob Jewett’s cut-throat article.ĭr. A standard triangle rack will be used to rack this pool game as well, however, its a bit different, the 1bal should be at the top of the triangle rack formation balls, the 6 and 11 balls at the two other corners of the rack the other remaining numbered balls can be randomly placed anywhere within the triangle rack. With a scratch, the lowest-numbered ball from the player’s group (instead of from the opponent groups) gets spotted. The first person with all five group balls pocketed wins the game. Another challenging variation is to disallow the good player from pocketing any ball directly, where every shot must be a kick, bank, combo, carom, or kiss.Ī good variation of cut-throat for better players is to require each person to pocket their own group of balls in rotation (always contacting the lowest numbered-ball first) instead of pocketing the opponents balls in any order. A good way to handicap a better player is to require that opponent balls be shot in rotation (always hitting the lowest-numbered ball first), starting with the lowest-numbered non-group ball. If a player scratches, a ball from each opponent’s group is spotted and play continues with the next player with ball-in-hand in the “kitchen” (behind the head string).Ĭut-throat is not a good game if any of the players are very good because a good player should be able to run most non-rotation racks a high percentage of the time. Any ball can be pocketed (even one from your group) to continue your inning. In cutthroat pool you will need to use a standard triangle rack with 15 balls. The ball groups can be assigned before play begins or can be selected by a player after the first inning in which they pocket a ball. Just use a standard triangle rack and place the 1-ball at the top of your rack (the apex) so it sits on the foot spot. The last person with one or more balls remaining on the table wins the game. The objective of the game is to pocket your opponents’ balls. Each person is assigned five balls to protect (1 through 5, 6 through 10, or 11 through 15). How do you play the pool game cut throat?Ĭut throat is a casual pool game played with three people.
