I have a billiard game that uses a jug with little balls numbered from 1-16. Therefore we called the game "pill pool". I now own his old table I learned this game on. I played this game as a young'in with a man named Sam. If anyone has questions, or a name for this game, let us know. The game never seems to end, unless all 15 balls are made. I still haven't made all 15 balls without messing up!! When any shot is missed, the game starts over, at the beginning, for the next shooter.

It's a test of control on the cue, to line up for the next shot. I know this sounds complicated but it goes very quick and everyone gets a turn. The caller doesn't call after breaking on the diamond. From that shot on the remaining balls must be made without missing. This is the only time during the shooters turn he /she can miss. Once the six balls at the pockets are made, the diamond can be broke. If the shooter misses any of the called shots,it's the callers turn to shoot. They can not be broken until the six balls sitting in front of the pockets are made by the caller for the shooter. But the remaining 7-15 are placed in diamond position like 9-ball. If the shooter should miss, then the caller is the shooter and a new person will call the shots. The person following the 1st shooter calls the 1st ball to be sunk. After all six balls are made and the diamond is broken, the caller can call the 1 or 6 as the first shot(as a bank only), not touching the diamond, in the next rotation. He called it "french pool." 1 - 6 are placed in front of the pockets, starting left to right in order, clockwise from the left pocket closest to the shooter. I learned a game on Sam's table, by a man named Sean. It was a game of substantial cue control, and now that I've just gotten my own pool table, I'm trying to recall the game so I can enhance my playing skill level. If you ever missed one of the first six, or scratched the que ball, it was the next guy's turn to reset the entire table. We did set an upper limit of points, 40 for instance. The previous posting is almost exactly how I remember the game being played. Back about 14 years ago some guests introduced me to the game, and I've forgotten exactly how it went. I've been looking all over for some official rules of "French Pool". it's pretty much like hand hockey on a pool table.
