There's also dynamic pyramid, played with a cue ball. If you carom it into a pocket, you get to remove any white ball and get a ball-in-hand, but can't play another carom shot until you pocket a white ball. Without this rule the game would be completely impossible, but with it, it results in very interesting tactical play:

  • first, you have to look for that carom shot and sink your cue ball

  • sinking the next ball is relatively easy, but you have to ensure that your cue ball rebounds into a position that allows you to take another carom shot

  • if the situation is hopeless, you need to take a shot that makes it even worse for your opponent

That sounds like a lot of fun!
