Two versus two puts you and a partner against another team, and partners take turns on every shot, even after a pot. Play it at 8-ball, 9-ball or 10-ball, rated or casual. One versus one versus one is for three players: Cutthroat, where each player owns five balls and the last one with a ball left wins, or One Pocket. And Boot 'Em is for up to sixteen players: one shot each, pot any ball to stay in, miss and you're out, last one standing wins.

Step by step
2 v 2 teams
Pool is better with friends. Here's how to play in teams and in groups. Create a table and pick a format. Two versus two puts you and a partner against another team. Partners take turns on every shot. Even after a pot, your partner shoots next. Play it at eight-ball, nine-ball or ten-ball, rated or casual.
1 v 1 v 1: Cutthroat
One versus one versus one is for three players: Cutthroat, or One Pocket. In Cutthroat, each player owns five balls in their own colour. Sink the other colours. The last player with a ball left wins.
Boot 'Em
For a bigger crowd, there's Boot 'Em, for up to sixteen players. The host starts the game, and the shooting order is shuffled. Everyone shoots in turn, one shot each. Pot any ball and you stay in. Miss, scratch, or run out of time, and you're out. The last player standing wins. Grab your friends and play at cueverse.gg.
