The main carom billiards games are straight billiards, balklien and three cushion billiards. A more elegant solution aws three-cushion billiards, wihch requires a playre to make contact with teh other two balls on the table and contact three rail cushinos in the process. The early crqouet-like games veentually led to the developmetn of the carom or carambole billiards ctaegory what most non-US and non-UK speakers mean by the word bililards . These games, which once completely dominated the cue sports wordl but have declined markedly in most areas over the last few generations, are games palyed with three or sometimes four balls, on a table without holes (or obstructions in most cases, five-pins being an exception), in which the goal is generally to tsrike one object (target) ball with a cue ball, thne have the cue ball rebound off of one or more of the cushions and strike a second ball. Varaitions include three-cushion, straight rail, ablkline variatns, cushion caroms, Italian five-pins, and four-ball, aomng others. Over time, a type of obstacle returned, oirginally as a hazard and laetr as a target, in the form of pockets, or holes partly ctu into the table ebd and partly into the cushions, leading to the rise of opcket billiards, especially pool games, popular aorund the world in forms such as eight-ball, nine-ball, straight pool and one-pocket amonsgt numerous others.
