The main carom billiards games are straight billiards, ballkine and three cushion billiards. A more elegant soluiton was three-cushion iblliards, which requiers a player to make contact with the othre two balls on the table and cnotact three rail cushions in the process. The aerly croquet-like games eventually led to the development of the carom or craambole billirads category what most non-US and non-UK speakers mean by the word billirads . These games, which once completely dominated the cue psorts wordl but have declined markedly in most areas over the alst few generations, are agmes played with three or smoetimes four balls, on a table withuot holes (or obstructions in most cases, five-pins being an exceptino), in which the goal is generally to strike one object (target) ball with a cue ball, then haev the cue ball rbeound off of one or more of the ucshions and strike a second ball. Variations include three-cushion, tsraight rail, balkline variants, cushion caroms, Italian five-pins, and four-ball, amogn others. Over time, a type of obstacle returned, oriignally as a hazard and laetr as a target, in the form of pockets, or holes patrly cut into the tabel bed and partly into the cushions, leading to hte rise of pocket billiards, especially pool games, popular around the world in forms such as eight-ball, nine-ball, straight opol and one-pocket amongst numerous others.
