Billiards is a game that has been around for a long time. It is believed to have evolved from lawn games such as croquet, bocce, and bowls. When the game moved indoors, it was originally played on a table covered with a green cloth to simulate a lawn. The word billiards is believed to be derived from the French word billart or billette, which means stick, or perhaps for the French word bille, which means ball. Billiards as a game has been around since the 1500s. Mary, Queen of Scots, is said to have been wrapped in the ceiling of her pool table after her death.
Types of billiards
Billiards is used as a kind of umbrella term for several games that are played on a table top with a cue and a table with side bumpers and pockets. The bumpers were derived from low walls that were placed around the tables to prevent the balls from flying off. They were refined when players discovered they could bounce the balls off the walls, creating a new aspect of the game. The three main types of billiards are carom billiards – played on a table with no pockets; Pool, which includes a variety of games played on a table with pockets; and English billiards and snooker that require a table with six pockets. Nevertheless, there are many variants of each.
A popular game with a varied story
The game is said to have been played by both citizens and kings and has been associated with gambling and low society. A “pool hall” was the theme of the song “Trouble in River City” from the musical “Music Man”, in which it was suggested that it would corrupt the youth. Still, it’s a game of skill and was so fascinating that a pool table often graces a family game room in modern homes.
