While viewing a video on here of a game to shoot a QB on a spot on the table I thought maybe Curling with pool balls on a pool table might be fun. Sort of like Shuffleboard on a pool table. I don't due cuetable but I'm sure you get the idea. No I'm not smoking that stuff again. :grin:. Johnnyt
 
Johnny, try this.

There are a few different games you can play using the Bobble Ball.
One of them is like Boci Ball.

Roll the Bobble to a spot on the table and use the balls like a Boci.
Boci is kind of like curling.

Not sure I'd be into that Johnny but beats being bored I guess. Another one is rack an 8 ball rack. The object is pocket the 8 ball in the fewest attempts shooting three rails. Start off with the c/b behind the foot spot. Break the rack three rails. The opposite side you start from is where you pocket the 8. Like a one pocket break except its a three rail kick since you start below the foot spot. Shoot the c/b from where it stops. Max is 15 tries. Is that better than pool curling? LOL

LOL I love the idea. Being an avid curler and curling fan I thought about the same thing when the Winter Olympics were on last winter. Unfortunately, there is just no realistic way to make it like curling. Shuffleboard? That might work but curling is a lot more complex and complicated than 90% of the public think, and the only way it works is on the specific ice and rocks that are used! My analogy with curling is that it totally reminds me of one pocket. IMO a bocce ball sort of game would be the best of these sorts of games on a pool table. I'll have to try it out tomorrow!
