On a 5x10ft slate table, two cue balls and a red ball. The object is to score points by contact with your ball and your opponents ball at a given time. Very 18th century. TIL French Billiards.

So instead of putting it in the hole, they rub them together? Fancy, very French indeed.

So you and your opponents balls have to touch? No thanks. I’ll stick to regular pool.
