Who is the inventor of game billiards?

Answer 1

Billiards was played outdoors on the ground with balls and sticks, called cues, in the 14th century. It became an indoor game when billiard tables began to be used indoors in the 17th century.
1650-1750. No one knows exactly when the Italian game of trucco, using balls and cues on the lawn, was moved inside and became a table game. However, billiards (from the Italian billiardo) was popular by the late 1700's. The modern game of billiards owes its creation to the leather pool tip which was adopted in very early 1800's.

Billiards was not invented but evolved from the Italian game of trucco, to become "billiardo". It evolved in France and Italy in the very early 1400's, and there is no record of who, where, or when the first indoor billiard table games were played. It is known that that billiard tables were in use in the 1420's.

However, billiards became the controlled play that we know today based on the invention of the leather cue tip by Francois Mignaud about 1820. If any one person can be credited with being responsible for billiards as we know it today, it is Mignaud.
