A form of billiards popular in Great Britain that is played between 2 players or 2 pairs of players on a 12-by-6-foot table with 6 pockets using a white, a spot white, and a red ball. The object is to score points for making a cannon (driving the cue ball against both object balls), a winning hazard (driving the white or the red object ball into a pocket), or a losing hazard (caroming the cue ball off either the red or white object ball into a pocket). 2, record 5, English, - English%20billiards
