DescriptionThe game of Snooker is played on an English Billiard Table and may be played by two or more persons, either as sides or independently.

Points are awarded for scoring strokes and forfeits from an opponent's fouls.

The winner is the player or side making the highest score or to whom the game is awarded.

Each player uses the same white cue-ball and there are twenty-one object balls, fifteen reds each valued 1 and six colours, yellow valued 2, green 3, brown 4, blue 5, pink 6 and black 7.

Scoring strokes are made by potting reds and colours alternately until all the reds are off the table and then the colours in the ascending order of their value, i.e. yellow to black.
