Puff Billiards

Puff Billiards seems to be a French game (called Billard Nicolas) but it has been around for many decades in Britain and Europe, too. It's a great fun game for friends and family.

You can probably guess what the aim of the Puff Billiards is. Take hold of your puffer and squeeze it like mad! Try to blow the lightweight ball into one of your opponent's goals. All the while, they are busily puffing the ball back in your direction!

It's a huge laugh and would make a great present for a family. Or bring it out at parties to liven up proceedings...

Puff Billiards Spares – overview

Puffer and nozzle for Puff Billiards
The game of Puff Billiards is played with a rubber bulb-shaped puffer connected to a metal nozzle. This is what blows out the air and pushes the cork balls. After a few years of play, these components may require replacing; we proudly supply high-quality spares made in France to keep your game in top condition.

Swivel for Puff Billiards (Billard Nicolas)
Another key component is the swivel. The Puffers sit on these metal swivels allowing you to turn it in the direction of the ball. We offer individual swivels (made from cast aluminium), as well as sets of 4.

Cork balls for Puff Billiards
Puff Billiards is played with very light balls, often made from cork. These things tend to disappear over time so we have obtained spares for our customers, just in case.

Replacement Pack of 2 Plastic Plugs
Puff Billiards is a 4 player Game. However, it can be adapted for two players with the use of these plastic caps. You simply cap unused holes on the board, which helps to keep gameplay tidy and prevents the cork balls being lost in the inactive holes.
