The game is a multi-player billiards variant where each player is assigned a group of object balls and attempts to pocket their opponents’ balls while avoiding pocketing their own. The last player with object balls remaining on the table is the winner. The objective differs significantly from standard pool games, encouraging strategic defense alongside offense.
This billiards style promotes sharper skills in shot selection and defensive tactics, particularly when multiple opponents are present. Historically, it represents a less formal and more social variant of pool, often played in casual settings. Its appeal lies in the dynamism and the constantly shifting alliances that can form during a game.
