Billiard cues in a reptile skin case are the best gift for fans of this game
It may seem strange to some, but billiards is not an invention of fashionable French salons of the 19th century, but a game that can be compared in antiquity with elite chess. By the way, it originated in approximately the same regions as the latter, in China or India. It is not clear how billiards got to Europe, but it is known for certain that it did so quite early. The first mention in written sources is a game table made for Louis XI in 1469. Another testimony to the love of a European monarch for billiards from this era is much more dramatic. We are talking about the famous Scottish Queen Mary Stuart, who asked the Archbishop of Glasgow to take care of her favorite billiard table after her execution.
Given such high-ranking fans, it is not surprising that billiards soon became popular throughout Europe, and then in America. Shakespeare, Mozart, Mark Twain, George Washington and many other historical celebrities loved to play it. Billiards came to our lands along with potatoes, the fashion for shaving and other foreign things from the submission of Peter I. The new fun quickly caught on at court and even entered the educational programs of the rising aristocratic generation. So the grandson of the first Russian emperor, along with mathematics and grammar, mastered the basics of using a cue. Interestingly, even in Soviet times, billiards continued to be played, and it was not banned as a bourgeois pastime.
Over the long history of the game, many variations have appeared. But a few have become popular. These are the famous pool or American, Russian billiards, English snooker and the less well-known French carom. All versions differ in the size of the pockets and balls, as well as the rules under which conditions and in what order the player can pocket them. The French version of the game stands out the most. In particular, the fact that in carom there are no pockets at all and only three balls. The goal of the game: to hit one ball, and then hit the other from the side.
