Your Objective:
The game is played with nine object balls numbered one through nine and a cue ball (the white ball). The aim is to pocket the 9-ball with a legal shot. On each shot the first ball the cue ball contacts must be the lowest-numbered ball on the table, but the balls need not be pocketed in order.
The object balls are racked in a diamond shape, with the one ball at the top of the diamond and on the foot spot, the 9-ball in the center of the diamond, and the other balls in random order.
If a player fouls three consecutive times on three successive shots without making an intervening legal shot he loses the game.
