This seems like a fun game. One that I enjoy playing is Carrom which a friend taught me. It's a similar game, except the pockets are in the four corners of a square board and then it's like pool.
There are some fun trick shots people do online https://www.youtube.com/shorts/PTTeLj-fSQA
And you can manage a couple of the trick shots yourself with a little practice. It's honestly quite lightweight and easy to learn which makes it fun.
I was reminded of carrom too, it's super popular in India. kind of like a cross between crokinole and snooker or pool; you need to get your pieces into pockets using a striker, and avoid getting your opponent's pieces in. physically, one big factor is that you're flicking a heavy striker into a much lighter disc.
