History of Pin BilliardsUnfortunately, despite much searching, this author has found minimal material on the European game of Pin Billiards. It could be a derivative of Carom Billiards - at some point in the past, somebody may have decided to add some skittles to their usual game to spice it up and the result was Pin Bi...lliards and possibly, Bar Billardstoo. Alternatively, it might be a direct descendant of the original Billiards game - Port & King Billiards wherein the hoop was dispensed with and the skittles multiplied. There seem to be two main forms of the game - Italian Five Pin Billiards (played on a table without pockets) and Danish Pin Billiards (played on a table with pockets) but it isn't clear which came first. The latter is played pretty much only in its home country whereas Italian Five Pin Billiards is also known as International Pin Billiards, presumably as a testament to the fact that it has spread to many other countries of central Europe and also South America.
