Snooker is a type of billiards game that is played on a table similar to a pool table but uses nine to 15 balls. The game is played with 15 red balls, 6 colored balls, and 1 cue ball, which are all slightly larger than pool balls. The yellow, green, brown, blue, pink, and black snooker balls, each worth a different number of points, are all placed in a specific position on the table. The 15 red balls are placed in a triangle towards the edge of the table. Players take turns using the snooker cue to hit the white ball, in order to pot a red ball. The game is organized into frames, meaning the player wins one by one by getting the most points. Penalties are assessed for fouls, i.e., violations of certain rules, including pocketing the cue ball (“scratching”), failing to hit any ball with the cue ball, causing the cue ball to strike first a ball that is not on, and pocketing two balls (other than two reds) on the same stroke.
