Predict Your Opponent's Ghost Both players secretly designate one "Ghost Ball" out of the 15 balls on the table. Read your opponent's mind and strategy with every single shot they take! 2. Double Your Score by Finding the Ghost Ball If you pocket your designated Ghost Ball, your subsequent shot points are permanently doubled! Finding it early gives you a massive tactical advantage. 3. Unpredictable Comebacks Until the Very End Even if one player pockets all 15 balls, a final-turn comeback opportunity awaits if you can utilize the Ghost Ball system strategically. The drama never ends until the last second! Grab your favorite cue, hit the real table, and use your wits to claim victory!
