What is Pool & Snooker?
Pool & Snooker is a game in the works for BIGBOARD.GAMES, where phones and tablets laid edge to edge become one big board, like the games you can play today. Players asked for it on our ideas board, so it's on the way.
It isn't playable yet, and details may change while we build and test it. Tap Get notified on its card and we'll send one email when it's out.
How it plays
The idea is one pool table stretched across the screens, the balls rolling from one device to the next the way the puck crosses in air hockey. Players take turns at the table, and the pockets wait along its outer edges.
Snooker is planned as a mode on the same table. Like every game here, it will run in the browser, with nothing to install and no sign-up.
What you need
BIGBOARD.GAMES games run on phones and tablets, iPhone and Android mixed. How many devices a table needs isn't settled yet.
A table will form the way it does for every game here, as How it works shows: open bigboard.games on each device. On the same Wi-Fi they find each other by themselves; otherwise scan the QR code or type the table's code.
Why it's fun at a table
Cue sports are games you gather round: one player bent over the table, everyone else calling the shot. With the table laid flat between you, everyone sees every angle.
While it's in the works, the party games on phones are ready to play today, on the same devices.
