The idea is to place a powerful electro-magnet at the center of the Pool table. By using only "magnetic cue balls", you will have to play the same game but having in mind that the trajectory of your ball might be affected by the magnetic field. If your ball is completely attracted by the magnetic spot,
the next player pushes a button that disconects the power for his next shot.

what about magnetic soccer.
sorry to highjack your idea somewhat but you could have a highly magnetised football so that one side attracts and the other side repells and the players have magnets in the boots. that might make the game more surreal. |

Ah, so we *finally* find out what [PeterSealy] does at work all day. |

po]: That's a good expression for posting (unsolicited) modifications to the idea, "hijack." I am prone to hijacking ideas. |

Wouldn't all those electromagnets make you sterile or something ? |

The <RL> pinball machine 'Addams Family' had a magnetic randomizer in the middle, when the lightning was flashing, the balls would go nuts. |

Yeah, I recall several real life (is that what <RL> means?) pinball machines with this feature... |

Some really lame bumper pool tables have a mechanical buzzer that vibrates the table at inconveient times. |

If you could suspend the balls inside a magnetic field without frying yourself when you tried to play, you might also have a fun game. And a geodesic pool table, of course, but that would have to be worked out separately. |
