How?

How to play:

  1. Place the billiard balls in a row in the middle of the table. There should be one ball less than the number of players.

  2. The players stand around the table and start walking around it in time with the music.

  3. While walking, keep your hands behind your back – this prevents quick lunges and makes the game fair.

  4. When the music suddenly stops, everyone tries to quickly grab a ball from the table.

  5. Those who are left without a ball are eliminated from the round.

  6. The game continues in the same way – one player is eliminated each round – until there is one winner left.

Why?

Waiting and reacting quickly creates a fun moment of excitement. The activity releases energy and strengthens the feeling of skill and group belonging.
