Four-ball
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Four-ball is a carom billiards game. The game is played on a pocketless table with four balls: one light red, one dark red, and two white balls. Each player is assigned one of the white balls as his own cue ball. A point is scored when a shooter caroms on any two other balls. Two points are scored when the player caroms on each of the three other balls.[1] Four-ball is easy to confuse with the very similar (and probably closely related) game yotsudama.
