What is billardo?

Billardo is a sport that involves using a cue stick to strike balls on a large, flat table with pockets at the corners and sides. The game originated in Europe, with evidence of its existence as far back as the 15th century. There are several variations of billiards, including pool, snooker, and carom. Pool is the most commonly played type of billiards in the United States, while snooker is more popular in the United Kingdom and Europe. Carom billiards, also known as three-cushion billiards, does not involve pockets and requires players to hit both object balls and cushions to score points. The rules of billiards vary depending on the variation of the game being played, but the basic objective is to use the cue stick to hit balls into pockets or against other balls on the table in order to score points.
