The Story Behind SkillBallX

Finbar Drayne Skillball X Founder

I’ve been an avid pool player all my life.

And 20 years ago, I tried to reinvent pool with a twist of strategy.

Skillballx Skillball Shot

I built a custom table, patented it, and tested it in my own pub in the West of Ireland.

Locals loved the concept, but the design needed work.

Skillballx game launch

Life moved on, but I never let go of the idea.

And one day I thought: What if I reworked the layout, and made this a mobile game everyone could enjoy?

Skillball x bonus ball

Today, with a simplified layout and a powerful twist on traditional billiards, SkillBall X is finally ready to go digital.

I’ve teamed up with a brilliant dev team to bring this game to life. Now we just need your help to launch it.
