Snooker is a cue sport played on a rectangular billiard table covered with a green cloth, with six pockets: one at each corner and one at the midpoint of each of the longer sides. The game involves scoring points by potting the correct balls in sequence, with the goal of achieving a higher score than your opponent.
Snooker uses 22 balls: 15 red balls and 7 colored balls (yellow, green, brown, blue, pink, black, and white). Each colored ball has a specific point value, with the red balls worth 1 point each and the colored balls ranging from 2 to 7 points. The white ball is used to strike the other balls.
Players take turns potting red balls, followed by the colored balls in sequence. The game ends when all balls are potted or when a player concedes. The player with the highest score wins. Snooker requires precision, strategy, and mastery of the game's rules.
