Billiards is played with three balls on a 5' x 10' table which has no pocket. It is played basically everywhere except in the US and UK where people play pool or snooker. Billiards is played in Europe, South America, Asia (Japan, Indonesia), North Africa (Egypt, Turkey). There are a white ball, a yellow ball (sometimes a white ball with two dots) and a red ball. One player has the white ball as his cue ball and the other player has the yellow ball. The red is always an object ball. There also exists an Asian game with four balls. The rules of billiards are quite simple, if your cue ball contacts the two object balls, you score a point and play again. This is called straight billiards or straight-rail billiards.
