Snooker

Here’s a quick rundown:

Table and Equipment: The snooker table is larger than a pool table, and it has six pockets. Players use a cue stick to pot 21 balls: 15 red balls, 6 colored balls (yellow, green, brown, blue, pink, and black), and one white cue ball.
Scoring: Points are scored by potting balls. Red balls are worth 1 point each, and colored balls have higher values (yellow is 2, green is 3, brown is 4, blue is 5, pink is 6, and black is 7). The game is played in a sequence where players first pot a red ball, followed by a colored ball, and repeat this cycle until all reds are potted. Then, players pot the colored balls in order.
Objective: The player with the most points at the end of the game wins. If a player fouls or makes a mistake, the opponent is awarded penalty points.
Strategy: Snooker requires strategic thinking, precision in shot-making, and a good understanding of positional play. Players often aim to leave the cue ball in a position that makes it difficult for their opponent to play a successful shot.
