Billiards is a general term that refers to a group of wooden games that are played on a rectangular table covered with cloth and with billiard balls and a long stick called a "cue stick". The main goal in most types of billiards is to hit target balls with a white ball (cue ball) in such a way that the target balls enter the holes in the corners and middle of the long sides of the table (pockets).

Billiards is a game of skill, strategy and to some extent mental that requires accuracy, concentration, understanding of angles and power of impact.
