What Nine-Ball Roulette is
Nine-Ball Roulette is a pool game where you eliminate each other with billiards until only one person is left standing. The twist is the revolver: you can either try to clear the table with one shot, or pick up the revolver and listen to your heartbeat. The game leans into a dark, gory tone, so expect a grim atmosphere alongside the pool action. It is an Early Access title from WaveBox Labs, and it blends RPG, simulation, and sports elements.
Playing with your group
You can join up to 3 of your friends, making a group of up to 4 players. The match is a last-player-standing format, so you take turns shooting and try to knock everyone else out. Voice chat is part of the experience, with rich interaction designed to keep the table lively. Online PvP is supported, so you can play against others over the internet.
Before you start
The game carries tags for gore, dark, and horror, so the pool setting has a heavier edge than a typical billiards game. It is still in Early Access, which means things may change as development continues. If you want to show off, the game calls out both powerful shots and trick shots, and one player notes a preference for high left spin with a bit of low right spin.
