Description

Billiard game device {BILLIARD GAME DEVICE}

The present disclosure relates to a billiard game device, and more particularly, to a device capable of enjoying a billiard game from a distance and non-face-to-face.

Billiards is one of the ball games in which white, yellow, and red balls are placed on a billiard table and the winner is struck with a stick. In addition, the game of billiards is popular because the rules are not difficult, so people of all ages are enjoying it.

You can enjoy this game of billiards alone, but it is more interesting to have at least two players meet in person and play together.
