Not 3C, but Caroms

[CaptainHook]

The pool hall I hung around in the 80's had a 5X10 3C table, a bunch of young asian guys, Lo'ation (Laos/Vietnamise) (sp) used to play a game called Caroms, but it was not 3C, has anyone ever heard of it?

Sometimes there would be a few Dominoes standing on end out on the felt?

I never played, but they always had action.

Just wondering if anyone else has ever seen or heard of this.



Thank you,

I think it called Straight Rail Carom.
Are you sure they use dominos instead of small wooden sticks?

Regards.
