Billiards: The Carom

To make a carom, the player must cause his own ball to strike two or more balls in the same shot.

When he strikes his adversary's ball, and either the light or dark red, he scores two.

When he strikes the two red balls, or, in billiard phrase, caroms on them, he scores three.
