-The balls are being put together in a triangle, except for the white one, which is striked with the cue stick by the player who starts the game. If he manages to pocket one ball, striped for example, the rest of the game he will strike only the striped balls, trying to pocket them, his opponent having to strike the solid ones, and viceversa;

-The opponents take turns, and the winner will be the one who pocked all of his object balls and then manages to pocket the 8 black ball.
