Types of Games: Billiard games are generally divided into carom billiards (played on a pocketless table) and pocket billiards (played on a table with pockets, also known as pool).
Pool Ball Sets: A standard set of American pool balls (often called solids and stripes) includes seven solid-colored balls numbered 1 to 7, seven striped balls numbered 9 to 15, and a black 8-ball.
Colors and Numbers: In a standard set, each solid ball (1-7) has a unique color, and the corresponding striped ball (9-15) uses the same color. For example, the 1-ball and 9-ball are both yellow.
English Billiards: In English billiards, a different setup is used, typically with two cue balls (one white and one yellow) and a red object ball.
8-Ball Rules: Eight-ball is a "call shot" game where the table is "open" after the break shot, meaning players can hit any ball first to establish their group (solids or stripes). The 8-ball is always the last ball to be pocketed.
