Hey I'm not trying to step on BCAs toes, but I play pool to have fun and there are lots of new funs games I've never tried out there. All I'm trying to do is gather all of them I can find and compile them together. I love to try out new games, not just billiards!

All games were made up at one point. That's how they all started out. Hoyle lists hundreds of games in their rules of card games books, giving you lots of fun new games to try with a deck of cards. I'm not going to limit myself to the short list of 30+ games in BCAs book. BCA does a great job of...

I am putting together a book of pool rules. I found a game listed in Mike Shamos' book called "Action 8 Ball". Below are the rules I have gathered for the game. Does anyone have more information on this game? Also, I don't understand the rack for this game. "The 8 ball is racked in the center...

I am looking for an 8ft pool table. I like one piece slate as it has the advantage of having no seams. I also like a ball return system. I'm not a leather pocket kind of guy. I grew up playing on an older Valley coin op table and I loved it. What are some top rated tables that I should...

Interesting. I am working on a rule book for billiard games. Something that'll offer more then the 30+ games that BCA offers. I have found hundreds of games to play. I don't know if I should bother with Parisian board games or not. I wonder if the rules can be modified to play on the keno...

Does anyone make a Parisian pool board for an 8ft table? I was reading through a 1910 online copy of Brunswick's guide to Billiards and there are a ton of games that can be played using a Parisian board.

Any more games?

Anyone have some Russian billiard rules that could offer up? I only know 5 games and am working on getting them translated.

Nice! Thanks! :) Anyone have anymore games? Please post!

Interesting. These I the games that use a board, so I can guess probably how it might work, but do you have more info for used with Keno/Amos & Andy?

I am putting together a Billiard rule book as I got tired of BCA only recognizing 30+ games and there are hundreds of billiard games out there that are really fun. Right now it's just a printed book in a 3 ring binder, using BCA's easily read page format. Anyway... Other then Kelly Pool, what...

Yes, I know I can just use the standard racks for most games. I just thought it would be nice to have the special racks. It's really more of a novelty, but I'd love to have them for my pool room.

I'm wondering... I can figure all the measurements... I have a jig saw, table saw, and band saw in my grandfather's shop. The ones made in China are made from maple. I wonder how hard it would be to make them myself? Does any one know what the darker wood is that's fitted in the corners of the...

The Russian set of I have is the same size and weight as standard US billiard balls. So really they are just the American size in the Russian style. AI figured even if it won't be like playing pyramid the correct way, I can still use the set I have for standard billiard games. A Snooker and a...
