Abstract
A pool game uses balls marked to correspond to standard playing cards. Each player or team attempts to form a 'poker hand' by sinking appropriate balls, to defeat the opponent's hand. Typically, an electronic scoring apparatus detects each ball as it is potted, and displays the state of each player's 'hand'.
