STARTING A GAME
Player 1 has the striped cue ball
and striped game balls 1, 2, 3 & 4.
Player 2 has the solid cue ball
and solid game balls 5, 6, 7 & 8.
The first player to get his 4 game balls down into the bottom
pockets wins !
1 – Place the game balls in the diamond shaped rack with the
solid cue ball in the centre of the game balls.
2 – Centre the rack with the first game ball on top of one dot
on the top level.
3 – Remove the rack.
4 – Place the striped cue ball on the other dot on the playing
surface.
GAME PLAY
Use your cue stick to shoot your striped cue ball at the game
balls. You must pocket all your game balls; in other words,
shoot your game balls into the pockets. Contrarily to traditional
pool games, you play on 3 levels and can pocket your games
balls upwards or downwards according the strategy you have
in mind. Hitting ball up the scoop, so that they go back to the
previous level, will take a little practice. It is recommended to
first focus on hitting balls down before attempting to hit balls
up a level.

Keep in mind that the winner is the first player to sink all his game balls into the corners pockets on the
bottom level. Hence, you should prevent your opponent from doing so by hitting his game balls up the
levels.
Tip : hit the cue ball in the centre of the ball and do not hit too hard.
Game rules
1.
Player 1, the player with the striped cue ball, breaks first. Each player can only shoot his own cue ball
at the other balls.
2.
If a player gets one of his game balls (except the cue ball) into a pocket (upwards or downwards) he
shoots again.
3.
A player may shoot his opponent's cue ball up or down to different levels. If a player hits his
opponent's cue ball into the bottom pocket, the opponent's cue ball is moved up to the top level and
put on either side of the two dots determined by the opponent. The player's turn is over and the
opponent must start from the top.
E.g. : player 1 shoots player 2's cue ball into one of the bottom pockets. Player 2's cue ball is placed
on one of the blue circles on the surface of the upper level. It is player 2's turn to play.
4.
If a player shoots his cue ball, or any of his opponent's balls, up a level, he receives another turn.
If a player hits his cue ball into a bottom pocket, the player's turn is over and his cue ball is placed on
5.
either one of the dots on the top level.
E.g. : player 1 hits his cue ball into a bottom pocket. Player 2 places player 1's cue ball on the top
level on one of the blue dots of his choice.
6.
Players alternate turns until one player has sunk all of his game balls into the bottom corner pockets.
Strategies
1.
A player may strategically choose to shoot his opponent's cue ball down or up a level.
2.
A player who has difficulty shooting his game ball up a level may choose to shoot his cue ball into a
bottom corner pocket in order to return to the top level.
3.
Learning how the balls come out of the scoops onto the lower levels will allow the player to figure out
which scoop will be the best scoop to go down to hit a game ball on the lower level into a scoop.
4.
Learning how to hit cue balls or opponent's balls up the scoop will make it easier to get extra turns
and realign yourself for better shots.
5.
Hitting your opponent's cue ball into a bottom corner pocket will make your opponent have to return
to the top level.
Note : never lean on the pool table so that it remains stable. Keep head and body away from table during
play. Handle the cue sticks with care to avoid injuries. Do not aim cue sticks towards other players.
ADVANCED PLAY OPTIONS
If you already master the 3D Pool Game, here are three other play options:
Option 1 : if a player's cue ball falls into a bottom hole, the player must take out one of this game balls and
place both the cue ball and game ball back on the top level placement dots.
Option 2 : after sinking the last game ball into a lower hole, the player must hit his cue ball back up to the
top level to win. If the player's cue ball goes into the lower corner pocket, the cue ball must be placed on
the lower level and the player's turn is over.
