Imagine a larger than life pool table.
Sixteen plus feet long, eight plus feet wide.
Imagine standing on that pool table playing pool with a plunger like a croquet mallet.
Here's the set up:
Stand your tables on their sides to make a wall, leave gaps where the pockets go, you'll need a standard old style plunger, 16 tennis balls, preferable 7 of two different colors, an 8 ball and a cue ball. When explaining the game, be sure to swing the plunger like a croquet mallet, specifically say they must hit the cue ball with it for play. This leaves the door open for using it as a pool stick, but it may take a few games before someone decides to do it.
Yes, you can play in teams. This is harder than it looks because tennis balls want to bounce. So I recommend either "dead" ones from a racquet club or stab all the tennis balls several times to take the bounce out. Don't stab yourself. You could borrow a labrador to chew all the balls ahead of time as well.
