The games of Pool & Snooker are cue sports, played on tables with six pockets. Cue sports are all thought to have evolved into indoor games from outdoor stick-&-ball sports, e.g. ground billiards, which were popular in medieval times. The first known indoor billiard table was owned by King Louis XI of France in the 15th century. These tables did not have pockets
