The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The game's origins are traceable to the 1920s in the United States.
- It is played on a rectangular billiard table with pockets at each of the four corners and in the middle of each long side.
- Using a cue stick, players must strike the white cue ball to pocket nine colored billiard balls, hitting them in ascending numerical order.

Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Nine-ball article was read about 85,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 66 and blocks with 69: each hit it takes is cut by 28 %.
