| − | '''Pocket billiards''' is the term for a collective of games played on a billiard table having 6 pockets along the cushions, in which the aim is to knock the balls into the pockets by way of striking a cue ball with a cue stick. Some variations, such as Carom billiards, are played on tables without pockets where the aim is to strike two balls with the cue ball in one shot.
