Billiards
Billiards is the collective name of several board games with different rules. The meaning of the game is to “drive” a certain number of balls into pockets with certain conditions: for example, the ability to hit only one ball or several, pocketing only certain balls or playing on the score, where the goal is to pocket more balls, than the opponent.
There are many nuances in this game that make it difficult to master, but exciting in the process of playing, forcing you to show prudence, tactical thinking, eye and psychological understanding of the opponent. With a high level of skill and luck, the probability of victory is high before the opponent enters the game.
Today there are many championships. Players can compete with each other in different types of billiards - Russian, English, French. The most common are Russian billiards and American pool.
