Ok, I am starting this thread to share some of these really cool Billiard games with everyone and hopefully some of you will share games I haven't seen with me. Hopefully this is the right place to post this one.

http://shop.ebay.com/iloveabay/m.html?_trksid=p4340.l2562 (Another ebay guy sells 28 and 45 ball wood triangles. Read and you'll see why)
http://www.canadabillard.com/english/html/produits/html/bonus.shtml (A fun game from Canada called "Bonus Ball 99")

Stating the obvious but Aramith makes a few like their Poker and Baseball billiard sets. With that said, hopefully that won't get posted on here since most of us know about Aramith. ;)

Anyway, check out the links and if you know of things I haven't seen, PLEASE share and post a link! :)

Cheers!
 
Team Speed Pool

I don't know about finding things online but a fun game at my schools pool hall is team speed pool.

Teams of 2+ race another team(s) to run all 15 balls.

-You can shoot after the cue ball stops
-You have to switch players for every shot
-If you scratch or foul some way you put the cue ball behind the line and continue shooting

Handicap (usually done just with 1 on 1 team matches)

-If a team is winning by large numbers they must take 2 ball from there opponent.
-One additional ball must be taken (up to 5) every game that said team wins against said opponent.

-------------------
This game is really fun at the end of a long day of practicing. Me and my friend I practice with the most usually try and get all of the tables in on it.
 
Cut throat is probably my favourite. You play with, idealy, three people. Someone breaks, open after the break, but when they sink one after the break they have to call a sequence such as 1-5, 6-10, 11-15.

Once you claim a sequence, your object is to sink your opponents balls(don't have to call pockets, slop counts as long as it falls) while keeping as many of yours still on the table. The first person to clear his rival's sequences while keeping at least one of his own on the table, wins.

Now, in the event you don't really have a shot on an opponent's sequence ball, you can sink one of your own as long as it's not your last, and keep in play. Scratches are ball in hand anywhere(the way we play anyway).

It's fun, and you can make a small wager among friends to keep it interesting. Cheers!
 
I play this fairly often. Another rule we use is if you scratch, one of each of the other players balls is spotted. So a person already out because no balls left can get back in the game on a scratch.
