I can't believe that this game isn't as popular as it deserves!! It's so funny to play, there are no two similar games, you have to use your head too, not just have good aim. but maybe because it's too difficult a lot of people prefers playing 8ball.

@ajb87 You are right. This game is so much different from any other billiard game. There is much more of game strategy and psychological tactics other than a great tecnique, specially in kick shots.

Unfortunately this game looks quite boring and difficult to be understanded to the mass, so TVs are not interested in brodcasting it and nobody knows it.

@ecioman Anyway in Argentina its popular but only in the billard world, not very known for the common people. Here we play it in a table with 6 holes, and the red ball is smaller (52 mm), and a few more differences but very similar... good luck

@ajb87 Originally even in Italy we played with 6 pocket tables and a smaller third ball. That was the real Italian billiard. But since 1987, we changed billiard tables and balls to adapt to the international table to try to spread the game trough the world.

I'm very interested in the game played in Argentina and I would be really thankfull if you can send me some links of rules and match videos.

Ciao ;)
