The carom game is played on a table with no
pockets. There are two variations, both are played with three balls,
a white ball, a
red ball and a white ball with a red spot. Not my favorite past time, but
I have been known to past the time at a friends house with these
games. So long as I have a cold drink in my hand.
The game known as French billiards allows a player
to decide on which one of
the two white balls he will use as his cue ball. The player must then make the cue
ball hit the other two balls.
In 3 cushion billiards your cue ball must hit
multiple cushions at least 3 times prior to making contact with the object balls. (I really don't play this game that
often, and I do not know all that much about it, but I thought I
would add it anyways)
