Pool Table
Billiards is the standard name for pool games such as 8-Ball and 9-Ball. Some even classify billiards as "Cuesports." The traditional game is playable on a felt table with a wooden cue stick. Several establishments offer friendly games or tournaments for instance pool halls, bars and arcades. To practice your strategy or to play for fun, online gaming sites are available. CandyStand requires the Shockwave plug-in and is free to play. Flyordie calls for the Java plug-in to play as well as free.
