Stunt Pool

Stunts are the order of the day

Stunt Pool is tantalizingly simple, or it it?

Simply play any pool game you like and freshen it by refusing to take a simple ball-in-pocket stroke. Each shot is not to be a regular stroke of simple object ball to its called pocket.

Every shot must be a stunt of some type. You may play a bank shot, a massé, a jump shot, any shot you like that adds that certain special something.

Strokes are limited only by your imagination and creativity. You may also check with your opponent or playing partner to adust the rules to allow an extreme draw or spin shot or some sort of unusual english stroke to be considered a stunt.

Stunt Pool is tons of fun, and especially made for games with a strong shotmaking emphasis such as Nine Ball.

It's a blast!
