Setting:
The game took place at The 4T's, a mystical clearing deep within the Pacific Northwest forest. The serene setting, with its dappled sunlight and towering trees, provided the perfect backdrop for this intriguing game of pool.

Hudsquatch: Slightly shorter and heavier set, with a loud and confident personality. His bold shots and vocal expressions added energy to the game.
Gameplay:
The game chosen was "But Wait, There's More," a variation of 8-ball pool with strategic reintroduction of balls. The rack was set up with one stripe and one solid ball removed and set aside for later use.
Breaking and Early Game:
Big Jim executed a precise break, scattering the balls across the table. The early game proceeded with both players pocketing their assigned groups—Big Jim with solids and Hudsquatch with stripes.
Strategic Twist:
As Big Jim lined up his shot on the 8-ball, Hudsquatch reintroduced the previously removed solid ball, strategically placing it to block Big Jim's clear shot. This move forced Big Jim to adapt, showcasing his skill with a calculated bank shot to clear the obstruction. However, the awkward positioning led him to miss the subsequent shot on the 8-ball, returning the play to Hudsquatch.
Climactic Twist:
Hudsquatch, now poised to win, was disrupted by Big Jim's strategic placement of the previously removed stripe ball. Placing it just outside the pocket where the 8-ball sat, Big Jim forced Hudsquatch into an impossible situation. Hudsquatch's final shot, hindered by the cleverly placed stripe, resulted in an illegal pocketing of the 8-ball, causing him to lose the game.
Character Insights:
Big Jim: His calm and methodical approach to the game reflects his deep wisdom and experience. Jim's ability to remain composed under pressure and think several moves ahead showcases his strategic prowess.
