If such a point were also the corner of one of the rectangles, what is billiards then our small square would be tiled by rectangles with sides of lengths and . Initially, all the balls from 1 to 15 stand at one edge of the pyramid. The other balls can be arranged at random, so long as the diamond has gold at its tip and gold in its heart. In fact, you can easily get quite good at pocketing balls from almost anywhere on the table. You might think that’s self-evident, but hey, there were 15 balls and the cue ball in a friendly game of 8-ball, so you should pretty much assume nothing in billiard games. I started this site to share things with friends and they encouraged me to post more and now I’m trying to share things with the world - indoor and outdoor sports, and board and bar games. I’m Lia and I love playing games. With a solid foundation to present greater content, our plan is to expand the site far beyond its original capacity. As with 8-ball, the cue ball is solid white to differentiate it from all the other balls.

The billiard table also underwent modification since players had to keep picking up balls on the ground. Years later, the table game was given a name derived from the French terms bille, which means ball and billiart, meaning wooden sticks. Billiards and Pool are two terms that are often used interchangeably. Billiards is often associated with dark rooms and betting, but people play billiards for various reasons. Only the royalty and noble people were able to play. People know what they’re doing with the colors they’re used to. Remember, the colors are the same as in 8-ball. The 1-ball is yellow, the 2-ball is blue, the 3-ball is red. Even when there are no more red balls, the run to the end, where players aim to pot the balls in ascending point order, ends with the 7-point black ball.All except 9-ball pool, where the reward that clinches the game is golden. In 9-ball, you rack up only the first nine balls, in a diamond formation. Or it could be successfully running the rack. It’s interesting that apart from original billiards, 9-ball is the only variant so far not to have the black ball as its ultimate aim, the pinnacle of the game.

3-ball pool is a relatively young variant on the original billiards. As we say, it seems very unlikely Shakespeare ever played any form of billiards. "All that glisters is not gold," said Shakespeare. The cue ball is solid white, the ‘8-ball’ solid black - though here it has no number on it, it’s just widely accepted that it behaves like the American 8-ball. The rest of the balls are divided into seven red balls and seven yellow balls, which take the place of the spots and stripes of American 8-ball. The same rules apply - the first ball potted gives the player the choice to play ‘reds’ or ‘yellows,’ but there’s no chance to play numerically. English PoolLet’s deal with English pool while we’re here, because while the balls are smaller than in 8-ball, the principles are largely the same. Even snooker, while technically depending on numbers of points scored, has the black ball as its most highly prized color.

But while they do have similarities, there are also distinct qualities that set them apart. Similarly, the three colors of the balls in a game of 3-ball have become an instantly recognizable trademark of the game. But for the most part, the color of billiard balls has become a visual language. However, every player is different, so the worst felt color for some may be the best for others. But in more serious games, where there may be betting on the results, the color of the balls usually reverts to the yellow, blue and red combination. An alternative endgame is "poison": in this variant, a player who has scored the last wicket but not hit the starting stake becomes a "poison ball", which may eliminate other balls from the game by roqueting them. You can even get transparent billiard balls filled with glitter. See if you can spot any. You will never see a slate bed table that is portable. For the non-professional players, it’s easy to see why these two table sports seem the same thing. For instance, red, often linked with passion, excitement, and energy, might invigorate players, leading to a faster-paced game. In the 15th century, billiards’ roots can be traced back to a lawn game similar to croquet.
