one-pocket
Strategic cue game
One-pocket is a strategic pool game where each player is assigned one of the two corner pockets at the foot of the table.
To win, you must sink eight balls into your designated pocket before your opponent does the same with theirs.
The game rewards defensive play and precise position control over flashy shot-making: One-pocket is chess with a cue stick.
