    Artistic billiards rules?

    Not sure how I'd contact him to find out. I would love to have the rules with diagrams though for all shots. Updated with the 100 shots now though I'm sure my friends and I probably won't be playing all 100 of them, it would be great practice. Loads of fun.

    Artistic billiards rules?

    Does anyone know where I can find complete rules to Artistic billiards? A diagram of all shots would be nice. Also called Fantasy Billiards. A bit taken from wiki: Artistic Billiards is a carom billiards discipline in which players compete at performing 76 preset shots of varying difficulty...

    Tenball (Snooker)

    I have a question for anyone living in the U.K., who may know more about this. Is there anyone really familiar with Tenball? Not to be confused with 10-ball of pool, but Tenball of Snooker. I've seen a few images of a yellow ball with a black cross on it and read a few descriptions of this ball...

    Boccette?

    I doubt there are many places in the US that sell the small pins, if any. But I wonder if there are any places online which might ship to the US? They look pretty small, I doubt shipping would be much.

    other games for the poker billiard set?

    I've been thinking of different card games but the mechanics of 52 cards, divided into four suits of 13 cards, versus a 16 ball set, numbered 1-15, plus that double "J" ball, get confusing to adapt to the billiard set. Rummy might word but you could only do runs. Three of a kind could only work...

    German Pyramid rules

    Here are the rules from snookergames.co.ukhttp://www.snookergames.co.uk/hisgame1.html. It's not totally clear on the break shot. Or maybe I just didn't understand it. But there must be someone in the UK I bet that would know this game. Please share! :) The German Pyramid Game...

    other games for the poker billiard set?

    What games can be played using a set of 16 poker billiard balls? These are the ones that Aramith now makes, not the Crown Games set. Does anyone know any other games for this set? Say maybe Rummy or other ways to play with this set? Any good creative ideas?

    The game Scaramouche found might be Russian Pyramid, but I'll have to read the rules to verify that. The game I am talking about is a Snooker game. It is also known as "Pyramiden Partie". It uses 21 balls in the standard snooker set. Itcan be found here: http://www.snookergames.co.uk/hisgame1.html

    German Pyramid rules

    Never heard of German Pyramid? Its rule are pretty close to German Sausage. The main idea is you must pocket two balls into each pocket. The rules can be found on a uk snooker games site if you search it on google. I'm just not too clear on the opening break.

    German Pyramid rules

    I am not too clear on the opening break shot for German Pyramid. It almost sounds like the cue ball is racked that the rear right corner or the pyrmid and the pyramid is struck directly with the cue stick. Maybe I'm not correct though. How do you make the opening break in German Pyramid? Is the...
