description Honolulu Overview
Honolulu is a pocket-billiards game in which players use fifteen numbered balls and a cue ball on a table with pockets. The game is a rotation-style variant: the cue ball must first contact the lowest-numbered ball remaining, while the object ball that is legally pocketed determines the score. A distinctive penalty applies when the fifteen ball is pocketed, making position and control important throughout the rack.
