How to Play
The order of play will be decided by the first Player to roll 2 red faces on the dice on one throw. The second Player will roll 2 green or yellow dice on one throw and the third Player will have the remaining color. The red Player will break the balls wide open. Balls pocketed from the break are in play with single colored balls only being re-spotted back on the table. If the red Player pockets 1 red ball from the break he/she will continue to play by rolling the dice and pocketing a single color ball matching one of the dice colors. The Players will roll dice and pocket 5 matching Harlequin balls in the following order, using 3 red Harlequin balls, and 2 single color balls as an example. The Player must pocket a red ball, then a single color ball, a red ball, a single color ball, and finally a red ball. The turn passes to the next Player when a shot is missed or the Player is unsuccessful in rolling the dice with no color match between dice and ball. After an illegal shot is played the turn passes to the next Player who is entitled to 1 free shot. Following the free shot, the Player will commence normal play. The first Player to legally pocket 3 red, 3 green or 3 yellow Harlequin balls plus 2 single color balls matching dice colors will win the Game.
