Snookball--A Game of Pool That You Play with Your Feet

This is Snookball--a new type of pool game devised by two French entrepreneurs. It uses a giant version of the traditional pool table, except that the balls are soccer balls instead of wooden billiard balls.

You can play two or four-person games. Like in regular pool, you drive balls into the pockets using the cue ball. But instead of using a cue stick, you kick the cue ball.

There are standard games: the Game of 8 and the Game of 9. In the game of 8, the 8-ball must be driven in last. Whoever pockets the 8-ball prior to this or knocks the 8-ball out of bounds loses. In the Game of 9, players try to pocket the 9-ball as soon as possible.
