Single players can play UP for practice.... 2 or 3 players play for points.... or 4 can play as partners.

15 balls rack. If any ball pockets, the next ball that you pocket must have any number that's higher.
A higher ball than the previous ball must be contacted, and any higher numbered ball must pocket.
The incoming player can pocket any ball, but then must pocket UP balls (higher balls) after that ball.
After the highest ball pockets, the lowest ball becomes the OB. Any ball could pocket after contact.
If the 1 ball is gone, the 2 becomes the lowest ball... If the 15 is gone, the 14 becomes the high ball.
Let's say the 3, 5, 10 and 15 balls are on the table, and you are the incoming player... If you pocket
the 3 (low ball) you can pocket the 5,10 or 15.... If you pocket the 15 (high) you must contact the 3.
If you pocket the 5, you can pocket the 10 or 15.... If you pocket the 10 you must pocket the 15 ball.
As you play for shape on higher number balls, it's recommended you know the low and highest ball.
Play is for 15 points minimum. Ball In Hand after any lower numbered ball, unless an UP ball scores.
If you have questions about how the game plays, I'll try to reply quickly. I think it's a very good game.
