Novuss

Novuss is a game of physical skill which is closely related to pocket billiards, but on a smaller scale. The board is approximately 100 cm square, made out of wood, has pockets in each corner, and lines drawn on the surface. The game was first played in Northern Europe, particularly Latvia and Estonia around 1925-1927. Seamen, while visiting ports of England, played a similar game in the local pubs.

It uses small discs instead of balls, and each player has their own small puck instead of the cue ball used in other cue sports. Players use a cue stick to propel their pucks into their colored object discs (the novuss equivalent of object balls), knocking them into the pockets. The winner is the first one to sink all eight of their object discs (of which there are sixteen in total, plus the two pucks).

p.s Novuss is a national sport in Latvia ...I don't know why, but that's kind of sad :(
