  Billiards - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sometimes, however, "billiards" standing alone will refer in particular to carom games played on a pocketless table, as opposed to games played on tables with pockets, which may be referred to either as "pocket billiards" (or "pool"), as "snooker" or as "English billiards" (depending upon equipment size and rules).
Billiards is a family of games played on a table with a stick, known as a cue stick, which is used to strike balls, moving them around the table.
The word "billiard" may have evolved from the French word billart, meaning "mace", an implement, similar to a golf club, which was the forerunner to the modern cue.
