No pins
Carom billiards online
- Cue
- 3 balls
- No pins
The international game, with no pins and no pockets. Each player has a cue ball and must make it touch both other balls: every carom scores a point and lets you shoot again, until you miss.
Played with FIBiS and UMB rules, with a scoreboard that keeps innings, the current run and the general average, as in real competitions. If you want a three-cushion billiards game that tests your geometry, this is the toughest challenge on the table.
It plays straight away in your browser, with nothing to download. To play without a connection too, download and install it as an app, on phone, tablet and computer: free, and without going through an app store.

Carom billiards, no pins. Each player has a cue ball (white or yellow); the other two balls are the object balls. A carom — your ball touching both object balls — scores a point and you keep shooting; a miss or a foul ends your inning. Balls stay where they stop.
Any carom counts.
