Kelly pool

description Kelly pool Overview

Kelly pool is a pocket-billiards game for multiple players. It uses fifteen numbered object balls, a cue ball, and a set of private assignments that determine which numbered ball each player is trying to pocket. The assignments are traditionally drawn from a container holding small markers, often called peas or pills, so players do not initially know one another's targets. The game combines ordinary pool skills with hidden information and is played in social, club, and gambling settings.
