Billiards or pool — what's the difference?
Billiards is the name for every game played with a cue and balls on a cloth table. Pool is pocket billiards: the six-pocket games like 8-ball and 9-ball that most people mean when they say billiards. There are other kinds too — carom billiards has no pockets at all, and snooker uses a bigger table and 22 balls.
CueVerse plays pocket billiards. If you searched for "billiards", the games below are probably the ones you want.

Real billiards physics
Every shot is fully simulated, so the table behaves like a real one:
- Spin. Hit the cue ball high for follow, low for draw, or off to one side for english that changes the angle off a cushion.
- Banks and kicks. Balls come off the cushions at true angles, so bank shots and kick shots can be planned.
- Cut shots and position. Thin cuts, stun shots and positional play all work the way they do on cloth.
- Fair for both players. The server checks every shot, so both players see exactly the same result.
A billiards hall, not just a game
Most online billiards games put you in a match against a bot. CueVerse is a lobby: see every table in the room, sit down at an open seat, or watch a game in progress. Each table has text chat and voice chat, rated games move your rating, and every game is saved so you can watch it again shot by shot.
