Snooker

2 players · 10–20 min

Snooker is played with 15 reds and 6 colors on a large table. You alternate a red and a color; the colors return to their spots while reds remain. The player with more points in the frame wins.

How to play Snooker

1. Alternating. Pot a red (1 point), then a color of your choice (2–7 points).
2. Re-spotting. The colors return to their spots as long as reds remain on the table.
3. Endgame. With no reds left, the colors are potted in order — from yellow to black.
4. Points. A foul gives your opponent at least 4 points (or the value of the ball involved, if higher); the player with more points wins.
