Players take turns using either the crossbow or catapult to attack the opposing player's castle. The weapons shoot the disc-like "caroms". Crossbows slide the caroms across the gameplay surface, whilst catapults fling the caroms in a wide arc. Players must choose which weapon to use to attack.

Hitting an opponent's carom captures it. Landing "out of bounds" (outside of the play area marked by the flags) allows the projectile to be recovered by the player. There is also a "king" carom for each team. King caroms allow players to capture more opponents, and can only themselves be captured by a king carom.

Additionally, Europe hosts professional competitions known as pentathlons in which straight rail is featured as one of five billiards disciplines at which players compete, the other four being 47.1 balkline, cushion caroms, 71.2 balkline, and three-cushion billiards. Straight rail was played professionally in the United States from 1873 to 1879, but is uncommon there today.

Hoppe was born in Cornwall on Hudson, New York on October 11, 1887. He won 51 world titles between 1906 and 1952, in three forms of carom billiards: three-cushion, (four sub-disciplines of) balkline and one- cushion caroms.

Rice was an accomplished left fielder, finishing his career with a fielding percentage of .980 and had 137 outfield assists (comparable to Ted Williams' figures of .974 and 140). Although never possessing great speed, he had a strong throwing arm and was able to master the various caroms that balls took from the Green Monster (in left field) in Fenway Park.

Landing the caroms in different places of the playing field leads to differing results. Landing on the moat or castle grounds gets the carom captured and removed from play. Landing on the tower island turns the carom into a "spy", and it gets replaced with a corresponding figure. Landing in the battlefield allows the player to fire from that point, improving their chances of doing some damage to the opponents tower.

One-cushion carom, or simply cushion carom, also arose in the late 1860s as another alternative to the repetitive play of straight rail, inspired by an early variant of English billiards. The object of the game is to score cushion caroms, meaning a carom off of both object balls with at least one rail cushion being struck before the hit on the second object ball. One-cushion carom is still popular in Europe.

There is a large array of carom billiards disciplines. Some of the more prevalent today and historically are (chronologically by apparent date of development): straight rail, cushion caroms, balkline, three-cushion billiards and artistic billiards. Carom billiards is considered obscure in the United States (being historically supplanted by pool), but is more popular in Europe, particularly France, where it originated. It is also popular in Asian countries, including Japan, the Philippines, South Korea, and Vietnam.

The risk in this is that the return man may be tackled deep in his own territory, at a considerably worse position than he could have gotten by letting the ball go dead (see below); furthermore, should the returner fumble the ball, the kicking team can recover it and gain a new set of downs (the advantage is that the kicking team is lined up very close together to stop kick blockers, and not spread across the field like a kickoff or punt team, and is therefore in poor position to defend the return). Thus, teams will usually return a kick only towards the end of a half (when the kick will be the final play) or in a particularly desperate situation. If a ball caroms off one of the goal posts or the crossbar, but lands in the field of play, the ball is considered dead and cannot be returned. (This is not the case in arena football, where large "rebound nets" surround the goal posts for the explicit purpose of keeping the ball in play.) However, if the ball caroms off one of the goal posts or the crossbar and continues into the goal, the score counts.

A player can shoot at and pocket any object ball on the table. However, the player has to call which object ball they will try to sink, and the pocket they will send it in (which is usually done by naming the ball's designation number, and pointing to the intended pocket). Shots like caroms and combinations do not have to be called. If an object ball other than the one called gets pocketed or if the called object ball goes into another pocket, then it returns to the table which therefore ends the player's inning.

McCreery won the Amateur Championship of Missouri four straight times. He posted high runs during competition of 336 at straight rail; 54 at cushion caroms, and 14 at three cushion—in which his "remarkable skill has given him a worldwide reputation." In the estimation of Willie Hoppe, a 51-time world champion in three forms of carom billiards, McCreery was "one of the finest performers [at straight rail] in the country." In February 1899, McCreery competed against Martin Mullen and Wilson P. Foss in the American Athletic Union's Class A Amateur Championship of America, at 14-point balkline held at New York City's Knickerbocker Club.

Four-ball billiards Four-ball billiards or four-ball carom (often abbreviated to simply four-ball, and sometimes spelled 4-ball or fourball) is a carom billiards game, played on a pocketless table with four billiard balls, usually two red and two white, one of the latter with a spot to distinguish it (in some sets, one of the white balls is yellow instead of spotted). Each player is assigned one of the white (or yellow) balls as a . A is scored when a shooter's cue ball s on any two other balls in the same (with the opponent's cue ball serving as an , along with the reds, for the shooter). Two points are scored when the shooter caroms on each of the three object balls in a single shot.

A traditional straight pool rack with the 1 and 5 balls at the bottom corners, and all other balls placed randomly Straight pool, also called 14.1 continuous or 14.1 rack, is a type of pool game. It was the common sport of professional competition until it was superseded by faster-playing games like nine-ball and eight-ball. In straight pool, the player may attempt to pocket any object ball on the table regardless of number or color (unlike both eight-ball and nine- ball), until one object ball and the cue ball remain, at which point the other fourteen balls are re-racked and play resumes with the objective being to pocket the remaining ball such that the cue ball caroms into the rack, opening the balls and allowing the player to continue the run. The goal is to reach a set number of points determined by agreement before the game.
