Billiards is considered a complex game. There are rules you must abide by. Some fundamental aspects of billiards are the rules of the game, principles of the game, cut shots, bank shots, effects, etc. You will begin by learning your stance.

Steps to play
1. Select a player who will open the billiard game.
2. Set the billiard table in that manner: the incoming player's cue ball will be placed on the head spot and the red object ball on the foot spot.
3. Know that on the break shot, the breaker has to cause his cue ball to contact first the red ball. On every other shot, the player must cause the cue ball to hit the object ball and at least three cushions in any order before it hits the second ball. Make sure that when each time a player makes a legal shot, he scores one point and he is entitled to continue shooting at the table.
4. Foul out a player when they fail to complete a legal count. They lose a point and turn.
5. Name the winner who reaches the predetermined sum of points
