Pool, also known as billiards, is a classic tabletop game that combines skill, strategy, and precision. Played on a rectangular table covered with felt, the game typically involves using a cue stick to strike a white cue ball, aiming to pocket colored balls into one of the six pockets around the table. Players can engage in various game formats, including eight-ball, nine-ball, and straight pool, each with its own set of rules and objectives. Whether played casually among friends or in competitive tournaments, pool offers a fun and social experience, making it a favorite in bars, game rooms, and recreational centers worldwide.
