Balls are shot up the beveled edge of the gameboard in an attempt to make them land in the holes directed by game play. Rubber side boards and bumpers can be used to carom or bank a ball into a hole. The scorekeepers are to add up points in selected games to determine a winner. To break the balls, the cue ball is positioned anywhere between the front of the gameboard and behind the second spot on the table's rail. After the balls are broken the cue ball is removed from the table and put into a pocket.
Players shoot only the object balls in all games.
