The Beat The Eight Ball game from Ideal is a game of patience and skill. After the Eight Ball is set spinning in the funnel each player must decide when to release their own marble. Beating the Eight Ball at all gives you points, coming in after it takes points away. More points are given the later your ball is so it pays to take chances.
