9-Ball, one rack at a time
Faster than 8-Ball: nine balls, lowest ball first, and the game ends the moment the nine drops.
How 9-Ball plays
- Rack of nine, seeded blind. Alternate shots; your cue ball must contact the lowest-numbered ball first.
- Any legal shot that sinks the nine wins, even a combination off the one.
- A foul hands the table over with the cue ball respotted.
How it ends. Whoever legally pockets the nine wins the rack.

Questions about 9-Ball
What counts as a foul?
Hitting a higher ball first or scratching. The turn passes and the cue ball is respotted for the other player.
Do we need to be online at the same time?
No. Every SparkChat game is turn-based and asynchronous. The board sits in the group chat; you make your move when you open the chat, and everyone else sees it land there.
Where does the game live?
Inside the group chat as a live card. Tap it to open the board, play, and close it. The card updates for everyone the moment a move lands, and the finished game stays in the chat as a keepsake.
