EURO Carom Billiards
Carom, or French billiards, is played on a table with no pockets and with three balls: one red, one white, and one distinguished by two or three red or black spots.A point, or carom, is scored when a player’s cue ball is propelled into the two object balls, the red ball, and the opponent’s cue ball in succession. The player continues his or her turn (known as an “inning”) until he or she fails to score. Scoring and rules of carom billiards differ regionally. The winner is the first player to reach a predetermined number of points, usually 50.
