According to Brockhaus, the game of billiards originated in a very simple way in Italy in the 16th century, then reached Germany via France at the beginning of the 19th century. It takes a bit of practice to hit the cue ball with the stick (cue, pronounced “K”) in such a way that a numbered ball rolls into one of the 6 holes. She can hit the board or the number ball on the direct path beforehand. There are many games and rules, it is always important to hit the white ball in a targeted, flat manner without touching the sensitive green cloth.

With table football (kicker), the goal is just like with its larger relative, grass football, to get the ball into the opponent’s goal with a player from his team. When moving the figures it is important that the rotation of the handle when hitting the ball does not exceed 360 degrees.
