THE SIMPLE CARAMBOLE GAME, PLAYED WITH THREE BALLS, AS IN THE OTHERS. |
|||
The game is twelve in number, arising from caram-boles and forfeitures.
This game, possessing very few chances, requires both skill and judgment, and is seldom played alone, but generally by able proficients against the winning and losing, or the winning game of novices, considered equal to giving fifteen out of twenty-four points. It is also played two different ways ; in one the hazards lose, in the other they are not reckoned; the first mentioned is the customary method, lohere the striker, upon making a hazard, loses as many points as he by that stroke would have gained in either the winning or losing game.
1. The game is begun as in the preceding caram-boles.
2. If the striker miss both balls, he loses one ; and when he pockets his own ball, he loses three points. |
