Pool Merge
Pool Merge takes the classic billiard table and turns it into a fast-paced merging puzzle. Your goal is simple: tap on two balls with the same number to fuse them into a single ball with a higher value. The twist is that the table keeps filling up, so you need to think ahead and plan your merges carefully to avoid running out of space. As you progress, the numbers climb higher, and the pressure mounts. Each successful merge scores points and brings a satisfying sense of progress, while a full table means game over. With its casual yet strategic gameplay, Pool Merge offers a quick brain teaser that's easy to pick up but hard to put down.

What is Pool Merge
Pool Merge is a fresh take on merging puzzles, set on a pool table. It's a simple idea with growing complexity that will keep you hooked.
How to Play
Click or tap on two balls showing the same number to merge them into a single ball with the next number up. Keep merging to clear space and avoid letting the table fill completely.
Tips for Playing
- Plan your merges a few moves ahead to avoid getting stuck with no pairs.
- Focus on merging low-numbered balls first to keep the table open.
- Use the edges of the table to your advantage when arranging balls.
- Don't panic if the table gets crowded—look for any easy pair to buy time.
- Aim for higher numbers, but remember that each merge only clears one ball's space.
Frequently Asked Questions
