And some, being an avid collector, I have in both sizes!

One other quick way to appreciate having numerous ball sets is to play a game of KRazy Eight Ball made up from 21 different sets - rules similar to Basic Pocket Billiards - but played where each player can only use three pockets on one side of the table. First player to pocket any 10 of the eight balls plus the game winning GOLD eight ball in one of their three pockets is the winner...

Here's a link to an old thread that shows a nice set of antique balls we were lucky enough to come across.

Interesting idea! Who thinks up this stuff?
Don't know the rules, but the very first chance I had I'd shoot the gold eight toward " my side corner " practically hanging it. Is that a good strategy for this game?
That would be me
I developed a set of rules for this game to help a friend get over his "problem" of always choking on his eight ball shots in the various leagues and different ball designs he plays with --- and I call it KRazy Eight Ball - and added the challenge of fewer pockets and variations on rules.
I'll post a pic of the rule set so anyone can zoom in and read the changes - or if you'd like, send me a PM and I'll forward a PDF copy for printing.
The picture idea was hard to read --- I'll see what else I can do. In the meantime, PM for a copy that I can email to whomever wants one.

Birthday gift.
Thank you so much for sharing photographs and thoughts, ladies and gents, they're all much appreciated.
K2K: We must be kindred spirits, sir, as I, too, like to dream up pool variations. Here's a new game created for a friend recently, sending him the set and instructions (pictured) as a birthday gift.

That's an Interesting game idea --- I like games that involve a "gamble" as you have created with the doubling cube. I have a few of a similar doubling cube from a person that created an entire game around the "cube". Interesting. Very interesting.
I have developed a few games as well that use the idea of a player affecting the bet or point value of game - one called KRazy Poker - that involves chips.
Tell us about the name "Romanian Pool".

Romanian Pool.
Essentially, it's just because my friend is Romanian and his name is Liv, hence the country's tricolour and his personalised ball on the instructions sheet.

Doubling Cube.
The doubling cube is great for pressurising a tough shot!

Nice one, ProZac. I've never seen one of those before, sir. Is it about seventy to eighty years old do you think?
