Rules * Arrange the balls in a diamond shape at one end of your 'table' * Decide which player will break * If the player that brok doesn't pot the 1 ball it is the other player's turn. If the 1 ball is potted from the break then that player must then try to pot the 2 ball. * Each player must try to pot the balls in order, starting with the 1 ball, then the 2 ball, then the 3 ball, and so on until the 9 ball has been potted. * If a ball is missed or fails to pot it is the other player's turn * The winner of garden pool is the player to successfully pot the 9 ball * Either player can win the game at any point if the 9 ball is deflected into a pocket. For example, one of the players is trying to pot the 4 ball. The 4 ball is hit which rolls into the 9 ball causing it to fall into a pocket. The player then wins the game.
