A compact, obstacle-filled variant of pool or billiards played on a smaller table studded with fixed rubber bumpers. Popular in American homes, rec rooms, and bars from the 1950s onward, bumper pool ditches the pockets in favor of a single cup at each end, forcing players to bank shots creatively around the pegs. It's the chaotic cousin of standard pool — less about precision, more about ricochets and luck, making it perfect for casual play when you don't have room for a full-size table.
We spent the whole evening playing bumper pool in his basement and nobody could agree on the rules.
