2.11 Carom Billiards
Played with two white balls and a red ball, on a table without pockets.
One of the white balls has two dots on it, and the two players each use one
for their cue ball. If your cue ball hits both object balls, you score
a point. Variations are three-cushion and one-cushion - in each case,
you must hit the required number of rails before hitting your second
object ball. Tournaments are now played with a set consisting of a yellow,
red, and white ball, which makes the game easier to follow.
