Provincial Player

Billiards in Kozyulsk

Provincial Player is a 1999 Russian billiards adventure for PC. You play Art Billy, a professional billiards player traveling from New York to Kryzhopol. A stop in Kozyulsk draws him into club matches, bets and encounters with the town’s punks, politicians and shady figures.

You start with $50 and need to earn $500 to reach the final tournament at the Golden Goat club. Most of the game takes place at billiards tables, but conversations matter too: talking with people and listening can open up new paths and better matches.
