Cuing games are fun turn-based multi-player games for two players. The board is populated with balls in random locations which means every Cuing match you play is unique!
Welcome to the tutorial page to help guide your way!
Two balls are ‘in-view’ when both balls can travel between each other along a straight line which passes through the center of each ball.

Full eclipse
Determining which balls are in-view is easy, just single tap any ball and the aimers will show you which balls on the board are in-view with the ball you tapped!
Sometimes to help decide your next move, you may wish to remove a ball from the board. Super simple, just double tap any ball on the board to ‘ghost’ it, then double tap the ball again to ‘unghost’ it!
In the game Cuing ‘Eclipse’ each player has one cue ball on opposite sides of the board while the remainder of the board is filled with object balls. Players alternate making moves by dragging the curser from the cue ball to an in-view object ball. In the new location, your cue ball must remain eclipsed from the other cue ball. During a successful move the cue ball moves to occupy the location of the object ball while the object ball explodes.
You win the game when your opponent has no available options to remain eclipsed from your cue ball.
There are a number of ways in which victory is achieved. One is by keeping your cue ball on a heavily populated part of the board where there are many object balls to hide behind! Another is to pin your opponent to a small area. Then they quickly run out of places to hide! On a more open board calculating many moves ahead may be necessary.
Eclipse is the most natural of the Cuing games so trust your intuitions, relax and enjoy!
