Everything the scorekeeper can manage
Lives
Each player starts with the chosen number of lives. A miss removes one life and reaching zero eliminates the player.
Points
Configure points for potting 1 ball, 2 or more balls, and the black ball.
Special shots
Potting 2 or more balls or the black ball can award extra points and even +1 life depending on the game settings.
Random player order
Add all players and use the shuffle option to create a random playing order.
Add players during the game
New players can join even after the match has already started.
Undo last turn
If someone taps the wrong result by mistake, the last turn can be undone.
⏱️ Absent player system
This is one of the most useful features when playing with larger groups.
If a player goes to the bathroom, goes outside, orders a drink, takes a phone call or is simply unavailable when their turn arrives, they can be marked as Absent.
The system temporarily skips that player without removing them from the game.
When they come back, they can rejoin the game and continue playing.
Killer Pool also includes a turn recovery system to make it easier to manage players who have temporarily been skipped.
Match history and undo
The game keeps a history of actions during the match.
If someone selects the wrong result, such as Miss, 1 Ball or 2+ Balls, you can use Undo Last Turn and continue playing.
Perfect for large groups
When 6, 8, 10 or more people are playing, keeping track of everything manually can quickly become confusing.
👤 Current player

❤️ Remaining lives

💤 Absent players

📊 Points
Each player's score is updated throughout the match.
