The main difference is the calculation of points. In the American Siberian pyramid, etc. The calculation of points is based on balls hammered into the pocket. But in the game of carambole points are counted depending on the bounces and strikes on the balls. This is the fundamental difference Carambol has many different versions and can be played with a different number of balls and on different tables. For example, in Korea, the game is played on classic carambolic tables without holes and four different colored balls, two red two white.
