1v1 pool seen from above, with real ball physics: draw, follow and side spin, bank shots, combinations. Play 8-Ball (solids or stripes, then call your pocket for the 8), 9-Ball (always hit the lowest ball, sink the 9 to win) or 8-Ball Pro (a short aim line and a 20-second clock). Aim with the mouse, or on a phone hold the cue from behind the cue ball with your finger; click and pull back to shoot, or pull the cue down on the power bar. Pick your table, from the Yorkshire Pub (entry 100) to the Las Vegas High Roller (entry 100,000), each with its own look, and the winner takes the pot; win at a table to earn its cue, part by part, a cue you can't buy. Nobody free for a quick match and one of the Blibzz house players takes the other cue, each with their own style, from rookies to sharks.

The rules in full

  • Three games: 8-Ball (solids 1–7 against stripes 9–15, then the 8), 9-Ball (hit the lowest ball first, sink the 9 to win) and 8-Ball Pro (a short aim line and a 20-second clock).
  • Aim by moving the mouse over the table, or on a phone by putting your finger behind the cue ball: the cue lies under it (the line shows where both balls go), nudge it with the fine-aim wheel. Click the table and pull back to shoot, or pull the cue down on the power bar and let go. Tap the cue ball for draw, follow or side spin.
  • Pot a ball of yours and you shoot again. Fouls (the cue ball going in, hitting nothing or the wrong ball first, no cushion after the hit, running out of time) give your opponent the cue ball in hand anywhere.
  • 8-Ball: once your group is gone, call a pocket and sink the 8 in it to win. The 8 in the wrong pocket, on a foul or too early loses.
  • Entry fee 100 to 10,000 coins; the winner takes the pot. Nobody free in 12 seconds and a Blibzz house player plays you (rookies, steady players, tacticians, sharks…). Free games need no coins at all.
  • 3 games: 8-Ball, 9-Ball, 8-Ball Pro
  • 9 venues, from a Yorkshire pub to Las Vegas
  • 12 s to find a person, then a house player
  • Free games with no coins at all

How a round of Blibzz Pool works

  1. Pick a venue: Each venue has its own table look and entry fee, from 100 coins at the Yorkshire Pub to 100,000 at the Las Vegas High Roller. Free games cost nothing.
  2. Aim: Move the mouse over the table, or on a phone put your finger behind the cue ball. The guide line shows where both balls go.
  3. Shoot: Click and pull back, or drag the cue down the power bar and let go. Tap the cue ball first for draw, follow or side spin.
  4. Clear up and win: Pot a ball of yours and you shoot again. Sink the right final ball the right way and the match is yours.

8-Ball, 9-Ball and 8-Ball Pro

8-Ball is the bar classic: one player takes the solids (1 to 7), the other the stripes (9 to 15). Clear your group, call a pocket, and sink the 8 in it to win. The 8 in the wrong pocket, on a foul or too early loses the match on the spot.

9-Ball is faster: you always have to hit the lowest-numbered ball on the table first, but anything that goes in counts. Whoever sinks the 9 on a legal shot wins, even on the break.

8-Ball Pro is 8-Ball with a short aim line and a 20-second shot clock, for players who trust their own eye.

Physics that behaves like a real table

Every shot is played out by the server with the same physics the game draws, so what you see is what happened. The cue ball slides first, then grips the cloth and rolls. Backspin (draw) pulls it back after contact, topspin (follow) carries it forward, and side spin changes the angle it comes off a cushion.

That means real pool skills work: stopping the cue ball dead for position, cutting a ball thin, playing a bank off the cushion or a combination through another ball.

Fouls

A foul gives your opponent ball in hand: they can place the cue ball anywhere on the table before shooting.

  • The cue ball goes in a pocket.
  • The cue ball hits nothing, or hits the wrong ball first.
  • No ball reaches a cushion after the cue ball makes contact (and nothing is potted).
  • The shot clock runs out.

Venues and their cues

There are nine venues: the Yorkshire Pub, London Pool Hall, Dublin Snooker Club, Route 66 Roadhouse, Brooklyn Loft, Miami Beach Club, Tokyo Neon Bar, Monte Carlo Salon and the Las Vegas High Roller. Each has its own felt, rails and lighting, and the winner of a match takes both entry fees.

Win at a venue to earn its cue, part by part. Venue cues can't be bought, so the one in your hand says where you've been winning.

Tips for Blibzz Pool

  • Before every shot, ask where the cue ball will end up, not just whether the object ball goes in.
  • Use draw when the next ball is behind you and follow when it's ahead. Stun (no spin, firm hit) stops the cue ball close to where it hits.
  • In 8-Ball, break up clusters of your balls early, while you still have easy shots to come back to.
  • With ball in hand, place the cue ball for an easy pot that also sets up the next one.
  • In 9-Ball, look for combinations onto the 9. A lucky early 9 wins the rack just like a long run does.

Blibzz Pool: questions and answers

Can I play pool online with friends for free?

Yes. Choose Play with Friends, pick a venue or a free game, and send the code. Friendly matches can have no entry fee at all.

What are the 8-ball rules on Blibzz?

Solids against stripes. Clear your group, then call a pocket and pot the 8 in it. Potting the 8 early, in the wrong pocket or on a foul loses. Fouls give your opponent ball in hand anywhere.

Who do I play if nobody's online?

If nobody joins a quick match within about 12 seconds, one of the Blibzz house players takes the other cue. They're always marked as house players and range from rookies to sharks.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes. Blibzz Pool plays sideways, full screen, in your phone's browser: aim with your finger behind the cue ball and pull the cue down to shoot.

Is pool the same as billiards?

Pool is one kind of billiards: pocket billiards, played on a table with six pockets, a cue ball and numbered balls. Snooker and carom billiards (a table with no pockets) are the other big families. Blibzz Pool is pocket billiards: 8-Ball, 9-Ball and 8-Ball Pro.

Can I practise pool on my own?

Yes. Training gives you a table to yourself with a preview of where every ball will go, so you can try a shot, undo it and rack up again as often as you like.
