            We introduce a class of nonconvex billiards with a boundary composed
of arcs of confocal conics which contain reflex angles. We present
their basic topological  and arithmetic properties. We study their
periodic orbits and establish a local Poncelet porism.  A
connection with interval exchange transformation is established
together with the Keane-type conditions for minimality.
