My reactions:

Nice!

Cool in an indutrial sort of way.

Ooh, very zen.

Yes! my favourite.

Fun, but would the game play properly without a felt surface?

and ...

You're just an idiot.

The car one? Yeah. I though the same thing. You can't even gain access to that entire end of the table.

Nope.



Waxed.

Hang on!
Is billiards another name for pool?

Otherwise where are the pins?

As a pool (billiards) player, I wondered the same thing.

Interesting reading about this table

I thought the pins on the table were for snooker? Billiards and pool mean the same thing in the US, and snooker is that weird other game that only cigar-smoking British men play.

Pins are for bowling, cue sports, billiards, pool, snooker, etc, don't use pins.

and lets not forget 8 ball , 9 ball, and those other fun money making games

thanks to HitTheLake's link, I learned that the bare glass surface requires their specially coated balls to play. it surely looks weird.

jimhelm 05-31-2013 11:28 AM

You said specially coated balls.

Beest 05-31-2013 12:00 PM

Billiard tables ain't got no pockets, just sayin' :eyebrow:.

Sundae is referring to Bar Billiards.

What's the game that looks like pool, but the table is smaller and there are a bunch of obstacles sticking up in the way? Kind of like the round bumpers inside a pinball machine, but made of wood and rubber. I can't even find a picture because I don't know what to call it.

Edit: Kind of like what Beest just posted, but not quite.
