Three cushion billiards is played where one point, or billiard, is scored by sending your assigned ball (either white or yellow) into some combination of three rails and both other balls, ending with the hit on the last ball. For instance, one may score by hitting your cue ball (white) into the yellow, traveling three rails or more, and hitting the red. Or, you could travel three or more rails and hit both of the other balls. Etc.
