What is a carom table?
1 Answer
A billiards table is another name for a carom table. Snooker and pool tables contain pockets or openings where balls can be sunk, but this table does not. The goal of carom billiards games, in their most basic form, is to score points by bouncing one's cue ball off of the other two balls on the table. Shop a collection of antique, vintage, and contemporary carom tables from some of the world’s top dealers on 1stDibs.
