carom game called "Philadelphia"

[thekid77]

i read about this game in a book...the rack is a 15 ball triangle with the cueball as the head ball...the one is used to break with and from there any ball can be shot into the cueball. the object of the game is to pocket all of the object balls off of the cueball...

does anyone have comprehensive rules to this game, for example, where do you place the cueball if it goes into a pocket? and if you make the cueball go into a pocket after a successful carom, does the player continue to shoot, or is it the other persons turn?

if anyone can help me, it'd be greatly appreciated...thanks guys and Happy New Year!!! )))))

sounds like kiss pool. There's some stuff on it here

there are full rules on the interview page about halfway down.

If that's not it, you're probably better off posting in one of the pool forums. This board is mostly for carom as in billiards with a pocketless table
