PARTY GAME: Beat the 8 Ball is an intense game of patience and skill. Each player releases their ball along their track to try to score points before the 8 Ball drops and blocks the scoring track. KIDS, FAMILY OR ADULT ACTION GAME: This 2 to 4 player game can be enjoyed by children and teens playing together, parents playing with their children as well as adults. Anybody gets a chance at winning no matter what their skills are. Best recommended for ages 6 & Up. HOW TO PLAY: After the 8 Ball is set spinning in the funnel each player must decide when to release their own marble. Beating the 8 Ball gives you points, and landing after it takes points away. More points are given the later your ball lands (before the 8 Ball) so it pays to take chances! Players try to have the highest score at the end of three rounds of play or to be the first player to score 10 or more points. INCLUDES: 1 platform (base, funnel, ramps, triggers, scoring chute), 1 8 Ball, 4 colored balls, illustrated rules.
