KELLY POOL MARBLES - WOODEN

These wooden Kelly pool marbles feature inlaid black numbers on a white background with plastic lenses that slightly magnify the numbers making them easier to read

These old-world charm wooden Kelly pool marbles are quieter than the modern day hard plastic Kelly pool marbles

Measuring approx 19mm (3/4 inch) in diameter

These are the perfect companion for the leather Kelly pool marble bottles

Gameplay involves players each drawing one of fifteen numbered marbles at random from a shaker bottle, which assigns to them the correspondingly numbered pool ball, kept secret from their opponents, but which they must pocket to win the game

In Kelly pool, the number 16 marble represents the white ball/cue ball. If a player draws the number 16, they are assigned the cue ball, and they must contact the lowest-numbered ball on the table first, and in the same shot, pocket the cue ball

Kelly pool is a rotation game, which means that players must contact the lowest numbered object ball on each shot first until the opportunity to pocket their own is presented. Two rule variants are set forth under rules promulgated by the Billiard Congress of America (BCA). In the simpler form, the object of play starts and ends with the goal of pocketing one’s secret ball. In the second, in addition to the goal of pocketing one’s secret ball, points are scored in various ways

There are two main scoring variations: under the first and simpler ruleset, the first player to pocket their private number wins. Under the second variation, although a player still wins by pocketing their private number, points are scored in various ways:

• Two points are given by each participant to the winning player for the pocketing of their private number.
• A player receives one point for pocketing any other player’s private number, and the player whose private number was pocketed is penalized one point (and can have a negative point total) but is not out of the game and can still win points in this way
• If a player whose private number is pocketed by another does not disclose this fact before a subsequent shot is taken, the non-disclosing player forfeits, immediately losing the game, and the player who made that ball is given two points instead of one. If no player succeeds in pocketing his private number, gameplay ends when the last private number is potted, and the game is played again with all points values doubled
