For something a little different...

You'll need a shake bottle with peas... or 14 pennies and a felt marking pen.
Write numbers 1 thru 7 on seven pennies, and 9 thru 15 on the other seven.

The numbers are for a blind draw to determine your balls. 'Snot a bad game.. http://sites.google.com/site/poolandbilliard/Home/s-not

.
A quick summary of how the game plays...

Players blind draw 2 of 14 numbers.. 1 thru 15 (no 8)
15 balls are racked with the 8 ball placed in the middle
2 racked balls have your draw numbers (your pea balls)
Pea balls and the 8 will spot up if pocketed on the break
After the break there are 2 object balls (highest & lowest)
Players always choose to hit the highest or lowest ball first
Player who pockets his own pea ball can pocket the 8 to win
If the 8 can't pocket, that player can choose a high or low ball
If both players fail to pocket his own pea ball the 8 pockets last

End game has many ball pattern choices to get on the game ball
Balls can pocket, highest-lowest... low-high... high-high... low-low
The only time you have 1 ball choice is if there's 1 OB & the 8 ball
Win by following your own pea with the 8 ball, or pocket the 8 last

Give the game a try... It's really 'snot a bad game.....

The numbers drawn can be revealed at the start of the game... or preferably the numbers would be held
privately by each player until the 8 ball pockets..... http://sites.google.com/site/poolandbilliard/Home/s-not
