Try this for some games man ship.
You break and make a ball.
Your sitting down opponent now will choose which ball group you ''must shoot''.
Next, remove all the other ball group (stripes or solids), after that.
Your opponent then must run the table, if not you get one game win.
Next your break, above rules apply to the second breaker.
But...
If someone breaks and makes nothing then flip a coin, if breaker wins the flip, they choose the ball group and run out.
If the non-breaker wins the flip, they can choose to do anything they want.
Pick the ball group and run out or pick the ball group and make their opponent run out.
We've all had an open table before when the only ball on the table is the 8 ball that was missed and now it's your shot.
And of course, we've all not run out in this situation before.
Adjust rules to your skill level.
Hope you enjoy this new way of playing.
ALSO.... you'll have some extra balls in the ball box, to play a game of 6 ball after each rack.
