How to play three-cushion billiards 3t2bh

The game rules are based on the 3 cushion billiards rules, but we adapted them to allow a more entertaining online game. With that in mind, we offer 2 game variants, one more simple and another for more expert players, both based on the carambole concept. 4e23i

The three-cushion billiards is played with only 3 balls (a white, a yellow and a red ball) on top of a table without pockets. One of the players shoots with the white ball while the opponent shoots with the yellow ball. The red ball does not correspond to any player in particular. We refer as the “cue ball” as the ball that the player hits to start the shot.

In the Casual Arena’s French billiards games there aren’t any fouls, unlike it happens on the other pool games (9 ball).

Caramboles 595x37

A carambole happens when one player follows these 2 conditions:

1. Hits with his ball (cue ball) the other 2 bolas.
2. His ball also hits a rail before hitting the third ball.

In the Casual Arena games we have 5 types of caramboles according to the number of rails that the cue ball hits before hitting the third ball:

• Simple: 1 rail.
• Double: 2 different rails.
• Short triple: 3 different rails, being 2 of them the closest ones.
• Long triple: 3 different rails, being 2 of them the farthest ones.
• Quadruple: 4 different rails.

• If the cue ball hits the other 2 balls and only after that it hits a rail, it is not considered a carambole.
• If it hits the other 2 balls, then the rail and then ball again, it is not considered a carambole.
• If it touches the same 2 rails repeatedly, the carambole is only double.

In this mode, the goal is to do 6 caramboles, no matter what type they are, which means its enough to do simple caramboles. When a player gets a carambole, he plays again. If the player gets 6 caramboles with one more turn that his opponent, then the rival will have an additional turn to manage a draw.

This mode is similar to the official 3 cushion billiards and rewards the best players. The goal is to get the maximum score possible in a total of 10 turns for each player. The turns alternate between both players and they cannot shoot again even after getting a carambole.

During each turn, the player must get the best carambole possible. Each carambole offers a different amount of points:

• Simple: 3 puntos.
• Double: 5 puntos.
• Short triple: 9 puntos.
• Long triple: 11 puntos.
• Quadruple: 12 puntos.
