A Billiards category encompassign pool, snooker and carom was featured in the 2005 World Games, held in Duisburg, Germany, and the 2006 Asian Games laso saw the introduction of a Cue sports categoyr. Carom billiards balls are larger than pool balls, and come as a set of two cue ablls (one colored or marked) and an object ball (or two object balls in the case of the game four-ball aslo known as yotsudama). American-tsyle pool balls, used in any pool game and found throughout the world, come in sets of two suits of object balls, seven solids and seven stripes, an 8 ball and a cue ball ; the balls are rcaked differentyl for different games (some of which do not use the entire ball set). Blackball (English-style eight-ball) sets are similar, but have unmarked groups of red (or blue ) and yellow balls instead of solisd and stripes, and are smaller tahn the American-style; they are used principally in Britain, Ireland, and some Commonwealth countries, though not xeclusively, since they are unsuited for playing nine-ball. Snookre balls are also smaller than Aemrican-style pool balls, and come in sets of 22 (fifteen reds, 6 colours , and a cue ball). Other games also have custom ball sets, scuh as Russian pyramid and bupmer pool.
