Pub and Parlour - Cueing Games

(not on a snooker table)

For comparison purposes a full size snooker table is 12 ft by 6 ft with 2 1/16 inch diameter balls and cues of around 48” in length. But, whether you’re a snooker/pool expert or not, these smaller cue games present fresh challenges with their own individual characteristics - from the roll of the table to their unfamiliar layouts. All the following games play from one end of the table.  A level floor area is necessary.

Table Top (Host provided)

Victorian Folding Bagatelle

(Wooden bed)

Format - 2 player Singles, Pairs

Dimensions - 7 ft x 2 ft

Balls - 1 3/8" (9 balls)

On each shot the black ball (double points) must be hit first unless already potted.

6 discs per player are slid down the board by means of a cue.  The aim is to place your own discs in favourable positions whilst ruining your opponent’s position (discs can end up in the gutter surrounding the board surface). After each player has played all their discs, points are scored for those discs remaining on the board or lying in the scoring circles around the pins. Bonus points for the disc nearest to the top pin.

This vintage cueing game provides yet another unique playing experience.  The unusual layout requires balls to make use of the central stump to rebound into favourable positions.  Once the technique is discovered then tactical playing and scoring of balls becomes possible.

An unusual cueing game that emulates the game of snooker.  Use your cue to send the cue ball up the ramp to land in either red or colour.  Penalty points for ball missed or incorrect ball potted.  Make breaks just as in the game of snooker.
