Carom billiards, sometimes called carambole billiards or simply carambole are a family of billiards games played on cloth-covered tables. In these games, the players strike heavy balls with sticks called cues. Carom billiards tables have no pockets or opening where balls are sunk, that snooker and pool tables do have. The goal carom billiards games is to score points or "counts" by bouncing one's own ball, called a cue ball, off of the other two balls on the table.
