ABSTRACT:
A game table is disclosed for use by one or more players in conjunction with a plurality of playing pieces, including one or more playing pieces and a cue piece associated with each player. The table is further used in conjunction with a cue stick for impacting the cue piece. A provision is made on the playing surface for determination of primacy of play, and receptacles are provided for receiving the pieces of at least one player therein. The receptacles further provide a position for locating the playing pieces associated with the players, as well as for the cue pieces of the players. The playing surface is provided with indicia for locating the remainder of the pieces associated with the players. The playing surface is substantially planar and is atop a playing table, which may have adjustable height. The playing surface and table may have a rhomboid or a lozenge shape. The playing pieces may be substantially disc-like, although balls may also be used. Each player's pieces are coded, preferably by color, to identify the player.
