MEZARPOLY8-Ball pool online
Mezar Pool is 8-ball pool, online: you pocket your own group (solids or stripes), and the player who legally sinks the black 8 ball last wins. At Mezar Café you play without an account or download, with a friend through one room code, in doubles (2v2) or against bots at three levels. The server computes where every ball goes; the browser only sends your aim, so nobody can cheat.

How to play 8-ball pool
- The break is played from the kitchen (behind the head string); you can place the cue ball anywhere there. If the 8 drops on the break it is put back and play goes on.
- The table starts open: the first ball legally pocketed sets your group (solids 1–7 or stripes 9–15).
- Pocket a ball from your group and you shoot again; otherwise the turn passes.
- After a foul your opponent gets ball in hand and places the cue ball anywhere. Fouls: scratching the cue ball, hitting nothing, hitting an opponent's ball first (the 8 first on an open table), no ball reaching a cushion or a pocket after contact, running out of time.
- Clear your group, then sink the 8 to win. Sinking the 8 before your group is cleared, or with a foul (the cue ball goes in too), loses.
- In doubles, partners sit opposite each other and the turn alternates between the two teams.
Tips that win games
- Think about where the cue ball stops, not just the pot: an easy shot that buries the cue ball in a corner loses the next one.
- The wider the cut angle, the harder the pot; take straight or nearly straight shots first.
- No pot on? Play safe: leave the cue ball in an awkward spot among your opponent's balls.
- Don't leave your last balls near the 8; clear them early to open a path to it.
How do the bots play?
Bots work out the ghost-ball point for every ball and pocket, check that the path is clear and how thin the cut is, test the best candidates with the physics engine and play safe when nothing is on. The levels differ in aim error: about 4 degrees on average for easy, 1 for normal and 0.3 for hard, and the hard bot also weighs where the cue ball will stop for the next shot.

How do you play 8-ball pool?
Pocket your own group (solids or stripes); once it's cleared, legally sinking the black 8 wins. Pocketing your own ball earns another shot, and after a foul your opponent places the cue ball anywhere.
How do I play pool online with a friend?
Under «Create room with friends» pick Pool and send the room code or invite link. Your friend sits down by clicking it, from a phone or a computer. With four players you can choose doubles (2v2).
Can I play pool on my phone?
Yes. On a portrait phone the table is drawn upright; slide on the table to aim, then pull the cue back and release to shoot. No download needed.
What if the 8 ball goes in early?
On the break it is put back and play goes on. Later, sinking the 8 before your group is cleared, or with the cue ball, loses the game.
Can people cheat?
No. The server computes every ball's path; the browser only sends angle, power and spin. Cues are cosmetic only and never give a longer aim line or more power.
Is it free?
Yes. You can play free as a guest without an account, with no ads.
