The incoming player must shoot the table as it lies. If two balls are pocketed during a single stroke, the player may select which companion ball he wants for a cribbage. If he sinks the companion ball he must go after the companion of the second ball that dropped during the single stroke. If he fails, the previously pocketed companion is spotted and his turn is over. As with other games, the general rules of pocket pool apply to Cribbage.
Cribbage is an excellent game to play to improve ones position skills.
It is also a great deal of fun. To improve your carom game, try Carom 8-ball. It is played the same as standard 8-ball, but instead of hitting the cue ball into the object ball, the shooter hits the selected object ball into the cue ball in an attempt to carom the object ball into a called pocket. It ain't easy, but it sure will help with other games when you are faced with carom shoots. When you practice alone, consider playing Cribbage as opposed to just running racks at random.
