Bowliards

Bowliards is a hybrid American pocket billiards game that simulates ten-pin bowling on a pool table. It uses billiards equipment but translates bowling ideas such as strikes and spares into pool rules.

Players use a standard pool table and follow rules that convert the result of a rack into bowling-style scoring events. A successful first attempt can represent a strike, while clearing the remaining balls can represent a spare.

Yes. The game is played on a standard pocket billiards table rather than on a bowling lane.

It suits someone who likes both American pool and ten-pin bowling. The appeal comes from applying bowling concepts, including strikes and spares, to cue-sport play.
