- This article is about the various cue sports. In the United States, Billiards often denotes the gamut of cue games. Sometimes, however, "billiards" standing alone will refer to carom games played on a pocketless table, while games played on tables with pockets are referred to as pocket billiards or "pool". By contrast, in some countries, "billiards" refers unambiguously to a specific game. For instance, in the United Kingdom, "billiards" denotes English billiards exclusively. Likewise, in the Netherlands, billiards refers solely to Carambole billiards.
Billiards is a family of games played on a table with a stick, known as a cue stick, which is used to strike balls, moving them around the table.
All billiard games are generally regarded to have evolved into indoor games from outdoor stick and ball games., Specific page reference needs to be filled in! The word "billiard" may have evolved from the French word billart, meaning "mace", an implement, similar to a golf club, which was the forerunner to the modern cue.
