I have never heard of this game mushroom before, but it sounds interesting. Could you please elaborate more on your experience with the game. What is the object of the game? Do players earn points for knocking the mushrooms down? What type of Asians were you playing with?
Were there many different colored balls on the table?
They play 'Korean 9-ball' in the rooms around me. Looks damn tuff. Object is to make billiards in certain ball color combinations. Can't tell if it is a progression of patterns or if different combos result in different point values.:embarrassed2: The pins are not supposed to be knocked down.
There is also an Italian game with pins whrere the object is to knoc k pins down. Crazy to watch, the defense is pretty hard to predict (for a pool player!).

Of course you gamble! What would the incentive have been to create such a thing?!
