Let me give you some background first. Our company has a one-and-a-half-hour lunch break. In the past, everyone either slept on the table or checked their mobile phones. It was quite boring. Last week, the guy at the desk next door said he found a thief in a billiards game and asked me to give it a try. As a result, the lunch break style has changed - five or six people gathered around two mobile phones, cheering and booing like they were watching a football game📢
The most convenient thing about this game is that you can stop and play it anytime. An 8-ball set can be played in two or three minutes at a fast pace, or only five minutes at a slow pace, which is exactly the length of the lunch break. Unlike a certain mobile game I played before, where a game started in half an hour, and when I was called to a meeting in the middle of the game, my mentality exploded💥 This one is completely stress-free. I played two games after dinner, and the loser was treated to milk tea. Even the sleepiness in the afternoon was cured.
Talking about the feel, I have some basic knowledge of billiards (I played in the college billiards club for half a year), and the physics of this game are really realistic. You can feel the force of pulling the rod, plugging, and moving, whether it is light or heavy, unlike some games where the ball will fly around as soon as you touch it. One time, my colleague went to the stage to rummage through his pockets while playing a super long game. The office was in an uproar. He himself was stunned for a long time and said, "Is this possible?" The most important thing is that it's free, and I didn't even see the recharge interface. It's so friendly to office workers like us🤑
There is also a blood billiards mode, which is the kind where goals can increase blood and fouls can reduce blood. It is especially suitable for several people to take turns to play, and if they lose, they will be replaced. We even made a lunch break league score sheet and posted it on our workstations. It's already the third week. Yesterday, a female colleague used snooker to win the billiards king recognized by the whole company. The scene was more exciting than watching a game.
In short, if you are like me and want to have some fun during your lunch break but don't want to get too carried away, you can really give this game a try. Whether you are discussing with colleagues or taking a few on your own commute, it is suitable. PS: Don't lose a game before lunch break, otherwise you will spend the whole afternoon thinking about how to hit that shot😭
