In many cases, it IS the game. To illustrate, here's 11 minutes of nothing but safety shots. The object of the shot isn't to make the object ball, but to make sure your opponent can't make it. This is 9 ball, balls must be struck in numerical order...fail to do that, and the opponent gets "ball in hand", can place the cue ball anywhere he wishes. At this level, it's most often then game over.
