If you're looking for the pool table in The Typical Tavern, see The Pool Table.
A Pool Table may be installed in your Clan VIP Lounge by using a Clan pool table from the Mr. Store for 3 Mr. Accessories. You may choose 1 of the 3 play styles 3 times per day. Like other once-a-days, it may be used again after ascending.

- You play a game of pool against yourself. Unsurprisingly, you win! Inevitably, you lose.
- Message for losing
- Try as you might, you are unable to defeat (player). Ah well. You gave it your best.
- Message for winning a challenge
- (player) challenged you to a game of pool, but you won and retained control of the table.
- Message for losing a challenge
- (player) challenged you to a game of pool, and beat you!
- After the 3rd use
- You've already played quite a bit of pool today, so you just watch with your hands in your pockets.
- Message for trying to play pool after 3rd use
- You're kind of pooled out for today. Maybe you'll be in the mood to play again tomorrow.
Notes
- The image beside the pool table is the current avatar of the person in charge of the table.
- There are mechanics to become "better" at pool, although they have yet to be entirely spaded.
- Effects believed to increase the odds of winning at pool include Chalky Hand, Chalked Weapon and Swimming with Sharks.
- Equipped items believed to increase the odds of winning at pool include the Pool cue, Lucky rabbit's foot and the Shark jumper. Having the Staff of Fats in your inventory may also help the odds.
- A Shark's Chum semi-rare adventure is also believed to be helpful. There is a counter that holds across ascensions (Probably).
- Items in your display case do not affect your pool odds, (as stated by Jick on a radio show).
References
- The message you get after playing for the third time is probably a reference to the slang term "pocket pool".
