It is the most popular game of pool. All 15 balls are racked w/ the 8 ball in the middle. After the rack is broken, the opposing players take stripes or solids after a ball is pocketed.Once all of a person's balls are pocketed the eight ball must be correctly pocketed to win the game. This game is also know as stripes and solids.

Do you have to put the black ball in the sides in pool?

In pool, the rules for the black ball, or eight ball, depend on the specific game being played. In standard eight-ball, the objective is to pocket the eight ball after all of your designated balls (stripes or solids) have been cleared. You must call the shot and legally pocket the eight ball into a designated pocket; otherwise, you lose the game. So, yes, you do have to pocket the eight ball, but it must be done according to the rules.

The expression comes from the pool-table. In some forms of pool, sinking or even touching the eight-ball is tabu except in end play.

What ball do you hit last in pool?
