🎱 Number Ball Draw (The Bottle Game)
Players: 2 to 4 people
Setup: Every player starts with a base score of 100 points.
The Draw
Each player draws 1 or 2 numbered peas (small numbered balls) from the bottle. These numbers represent your "private balls." Keep them secret!
Gameplay & Scoring
Pocketing Your Own Ball: * If you pocket a ball matching your own number, you collect 20 points from every other player.
You then draw a new numbered pea and continue your turn.
Pocketing an Opponent’s Ball: * If you pocket a ball owned by another player, you take 20 points directly from that owner.
The player who lost their ball must draw a new numbered pea.
Pocketing an "Unowned" Ball: * If you pocket a ball that no one currently holds, you lose 20 points, which goes into the "Public Pool" (The Pot).
That ball is placed back on the table at the foot cushion.
Note: The shooter may continue their turn, but pocketing unowned balls does not grant extra points.
Winning the Game
Clearing the Table: Once all balls are cleared, the points in the Public Pool are divided equally among all players.
Victory: The player with the highest final score wins!
