Cutthroat pool is a great game for three to five people. It is similar to 8-ball pool in that each player receives a set of balls and has to pocket the opponent's ball. There are however some additional rules that make it different from 8ball pool.
Players will need to assign the balls to their groups and agree on the time of the shots. Each group is made up of numbered balls, from 1 to 5 in each group. The first player to make a ball chooses a set of balls to shoot for and the rest of the players can start shooting once that player has made the first shot.
