Carrom game (English name)

Japanese: キャロムゲーム(英語表記)carom game
Carrom game (English name)
A billiard game that pairs with the pocket game, also known as the cannon game. It is broadly divided into four-ball and three-ball games depending on the number of balls used. Three-ball games are divided into three-ball games, cushion games, balkline games, and free games depending on the playing method. Two white balls and one red ball (two in the case of four-ball games) are used. All points are scored by one shot, and a point is scored when the cue ball hits the target ball. Therefore, technical judgment of the movement of the cue ball (path, rotation, etc.) is an important point in scoring. In all games except cushion games, a point is scored by hitting the target ball straight with the cue ball, but in cushion games, the cue ball must hit the cushion a set number of times to score. In balkline games, a limiting frame is drawn on the table, and within that frame, one (or two) target balls cannot be hit unless they are outside the frame by a set number of points.

Japanese:
ポケットゲームと対をなすビリヤードゲームの一つで,キャノンゲームともいう。使用球の数により四つ球と三つ球のゲームに大別される。三つ球にはその競技方法により,三つ球ゲーム,クッションゲーム,ボークラインゲーム,フリーゲームなどがある。白球2個,赤球1個 (四つ球の場合は2個) を用いる。得点はすべてワンショット1点で,手球を的球に当てたときに得点となる。したがって手球の動き (進路,回転など) に対する技術的な判断が,得点するうえで重要なポイントとなる。クッションゲームを除いては,手球をストレートに的球に当てれば得点となるが,クッションゲームでは,手球が規定された回数だけクッションに当らなければ得点にならない。ボークラインゲームはテーブル上に制限枠を描き,その枠内では規定された採点回数により,的球を1個 (または2個) 枠外に出さなければ撞 (つ) くことができないという制限を加えたものである。
