Mastering 60 different tables allows players to progress through consecutive stages or jump between specific billiards layouts. Using an electronic cue stick mechanic, you aim the cue ball and select power levels to control how balls ricochet into pockets. The game supports both single-player and two-player modes with automatic score tracking.
