Mondo Knows Games
Pool
A small table, six object balls and a cue ball, and eight strokes to pot the lot. The balls are real bodies: friction slows them, the cushions take pace out of them, they pass momentum to each other and six pockets swallow whatever reaches them. Aim the cue line, hold to draw the cue back, release to strike. A scratch costs you a stroke and puts the cue ball back on the baulk spot. It is a medium game that takes 2-3 minutes, controlled with move to aim, hold to draw the cue, release to strike.
