Design Notes

The board layout comes from an early group discussion between James Kyle and ChrisYoung. See piecepack Mailing list message #9.
Banked shots knocked the board tiles out of place too easily, so I added the rules about holding the tiles down to provide a solid bumper to bank the cue-ball.
This game turns out to be much more difficult to play than regular Nine-ball.
