Interesting Facts About Billiards

The game of billiards is thought to have originated from an outdoor game similar to croquet that was played in the 14 century in France. This outdoor game was popular with royalty and common people. It is believed that the game was moved indoors so it could be enjoyed in unfavorable weather. The table top was covered in green to resemble the lawn that game was played on outside.

The first billiard tables are thought to have been made of stone, covered in cloth and to have had a hole in the middle for the ball to go into.
