Official synopsis Publisher
What is ONE-POCKET? ONE-POCKET is a pool game in which each player is assigned a corner pocket at the foot of the table (the end where the balls are racked). The first player to make eight of the fifteen balls, into that designated pocket, wins the game. Sounds simple doesn’t it? The objective is certainly simple but the means to this objective can be as complicated as a game of chess. ONE-POCKET can be the most boring game in the world to watch. But, at the same time, it can be the most exciting game in the world to play. In this regard it s somewhat like chess if you don t know the intricacies of the game, it more than likely won t be very interesting.
