Cool! Happy Merry Birthday Christmas! Is that bumper pool and how do you play?
Yes, it’s bumper pool. The playing surface is about 4 feet by 2.5. The object is to get your 5 balls into the pocket on the other side of the table before your opponent can do the same. There is no cue ball, you shoot each ball directly. There is a marked ball that you have to sink first before you can play any other balls.
We are playing “nice” for the time being, but playing defensively is part of the strategy as well. Meaning I use my shot to hit my ball to knock your ball out of scoring position.
