Pool Games
Two classic cue games, free in your browser. The balls roll on a continuous physics simulation — cloth friction, lively cushions, cut angles and cue-ball spin — so a thin cut behaves like a thin cut and a draw shot really comes back. Pick your opponent level, take your time lining up each shot, and play a race to two racks. Nothing to install, no ads, no sign-up.

Why play pool online?
Pool is a game about angles you can feel before you can calculate. Every shot is the same small question asked a new way — where must the cue ball strike this ball to send it there, and where will the cue ball end up afterwards — and the answer arrives as a picture rather than a number. Playing on a table that respects the physics means the picture you build here is the one that works: the aiming line, the cut, the way follow and draw move the white afterwards.
JuJu keeps it calm. There is no shot clock and no countdown — take as long as you like over the line, and the aiming guide stays on while you look. A foul hands the table over, it does not end anything, and a lost rack simply racks the balls again. No ads, no account, and your opponent level stays set on your own device.
Frequently asked questions
Are these pool games free to play online?
Yes. Both 8-ball and 9-ball are free in your browser — no ads, no account, nothing to download or install. Your opponent level stays on your own device.
How do you play 8-ball pool?
Break the rack, then continue shooting as long as you legally pocket a ball. The table is open after the break: the first ball you legally pocket decides whether you are on solids (1–7) or stripes (9–15), and your opponent takes the other group. Clear your whole group, then call a pocket and sink the 8 there to win the rack.
What is the difference between 8-ball and 9-ball?
In 8-ball you own a group of seven balls and can take them in any order, finishing on the 8 in a pocket you name. In 9-ball only nine balls are on the table and the cue ball must always touch the lowest-numbered one first — but any ball that drops on a legal shot counts, so combinations can end a rack early. 8-ball rewards planning a run; 9-ball rewards one accurate shot at a time.
Do I have to call the pocket?
Only for the 8. Everything before it counts wherever it drops, but once your group is clear you pick a pocket for the 8 by tapping it on the table, and it has to go in that one. Dropping the 8 anywhere else loses the rack, so the call is a real decision.
What happens if I pot the 8 ball too early?
You lose that rack — the same as scratching on the 8 or sending it into a pocket you did not call. The one exception is the break: an 8 that drops on the opening shot is simply spotted back on the table and play carries on.
What counts as a foul?
Common fouls include scratching, hitting the wrong ball first, or failing to pocket a ball or drive one to a cushion after contact. In 8-ball you must hit your group first; in 9-ball you must hit the lowest-numbered ball first. A foul gives the opponent ball in hand anywhere on the table.
