A game that I am developing.

This is a game that I have been creating. I'll give you the general overview.

The game is racked in the same way for 7 ball. The pockets are numbered from 1-6 with pocket 1 being at the bottom right pocket and the remaining 5 are numbered ascending clockwise. The objective is to pot the lowest ball into its numbered pocket.

You do not have to hit the lowest ball (with an exception which I'll discuss later). If you pot any other ball into a pocket or the lowest ball into the wrong pocket, you do get another turn and the object ball comes back out to either the footspot, centerspot or headspot (players elects even on a foul) but if you fill all three spots, you lose the game.

When the player calls a safe he has lay the safety by hitting the lowest ball on the table and both players have to continue hitting the lowest ball until it is pocketed into any pocket (unless 2 spots are filled).

If your opponent misses, you have the opportunity on your first shot to clear a ball on the spots into it's designated pocket.

Once the balls from 1-6 have been potted, the 7 ball can be made into any pocket for the win.

I hope I explained it well...

Input anyone?
 
This seems like an interesting game. I am a little unclear by pocketing balls during a normal turn. When you say you can hit any other ball do you mean u can do things such as carom from say the 5 into the 1 to knock it into the pocket?

Also, is it the person who get the third ball put on the spot the one that looses or the person that gets three balls put on the spots that looses?

Is the 7 a called ball or just any pocket?

Yes you can hit any ball you like providing your opponent hasn't called safe.

Yes, you can hit the 5 into the 1.

Also, is it the person who get the third ball put on the spot the one that looses or the person that gets three balls put on the spots that looses?

If you are the person who fills the third spot, you lose the game.

The 7 ball can be made into any pocket but personally I would disallow slop and make the person specify which pocket they are going for.
