The document describes how a game of billiards is set up, with the billiard balls racked and the cue ball waiting to be shot, and discusses the cue stick used to hit the cue ball into the other balls. It also outlines two common types of billiard games - 8-ball, where players must sink their own balls and then the 8-ball to win, and 9-ball, where balls must be pocketed in numerical order and the player sinking the 9-ball wins. The document concludes with a brief author biography stating his name is Andrew and he enjoys rock music, playing guitar, and billiards.
