How to play reverse pool

Reverse pool is really a surprisingly tricky and interesting game, thanks to reversing the physics.

You still pot your coloured balls and then the black as you do in a standard game of pool.

The twist is that instead of using the white to hit your coloured ball into the pocket, you need to pot by cueing your coloured ball and bouncing it off the white before it goes in.

The different action of the game means that a different starting arrangement of balls is needed as shown in the sketch.

It's really intriguing!
