How to play
Rules for every game at the club
Learn to play snooker, English pool, American 8-ball, 9-ball, Chinese 8-ball, darts and table shuffleboard. Each guide covers scoring, fouls and the full rules in plain English, so you can book a table and get straight into a game.
Snooker
Reds and colours, break-building and the famous maximum 147 — the game Jimmy White is famous for.
English Pool
Reds vs yellows on a small UK table — the pub and club standard, with a note on the older two-shot rules.
American 8-Ball
Solids vs stripes on our Brunswick American table — the format most people learn first.
9-Ball
Fast, TV-friendly rotation pool — hit the lowest ball on the table, but pot any ball to keep your turn.
Chinese 8-Ball
Blackball's more technical cousin — a bigger table with much tighter pockets, played on our dedicated Chinese 8-ball table.
Darts
501, Cricket and more on our auto-scoring FLYBY boards — no chalk, no arguments about the maths.
Shuffleboard
Slide your weights down the lane and knock your opponent off the scoring zones — simple to learn, hard to master.
