A little surprise.Play Chinese 8-ball, 9-ball and a casual Snooker ruleset, or try Skill Duel: each player receives three random cards per rack, while nine changing arena effects reshape the contest.

Make it yours.Practise at your own pace, challenge the computer, or face another player over LAN or the internet. Steam players can host a room and invite friends.
