This thread is for the discussion of Pool and other cue sports such as Billiards and Snooker, as well as trick shots and other non-standard games played on billiard tables.
Modern pool is the culmination of centuries of tradition and development, and is now one of the most popular bar games in North America, and remains popular worldwide.
Do you play? Is there a league in your area? Do you own your own cue, table, or other equipment?
Mark my words, Battleground is going end in some convoluted loop that will make all three men as champions and reunite. It was all a ruse.

Bean Bag Buccaneers is a two player children's game, the object of which is to pick up your treasure chest on the central island and sail back safely.
Each player has a giant sailing ship as their main game piece. Each ship has a removable sail, two trigger-action side panels, and a huge spring-driven cannon. Players take turns moving forward along a prescribed track and shooting bean bags at their opponent's ship. A hit on one of the side panels will force it to pop off and give the player a free shot at the other side; a hit forcing the sail off becalms the ship for a turn.
To add to the pirate flavor, each player also has an eye patch. Wearing these will slightly affect depth perception and add a marginal bit of sport to the shooting.
This game retailed for the somewhat impressive sum of $16 back in 1962. With its huge plastic ships (close to a foot long), giant vinyl play mat, and the eye patches, it may well stand as one of the more overproduced games of the early 1960s. Bean Bag Buccaneers.
