description Buthus occitanus Overview

Cutthroat pool is a casual billiards game designed for three players, using a standard set of 15 numbered balls. In this game, balls are divided into three groups (1-5, 6-10, 11-15), with each player assigned a specific group to protect. The objective is to pocket opponents' balls while keeping your own on the table. The last player with any of their assigned balls remaining is declared the winner.

The game is popular in recreational settings due to its simple rules and accommodation of multiple players.
