Snooker, which is different from other pool games, requires more skill to win than any other. In order to win a frame, a player must pot the red ball into the pocket and then pot a colored ball that is positioned at one of the five designated spots. This is done in a predetermined sequence. The player who accumulates the most points wins the game.
A rack of fifteen red snooker balls makes up a set of snooker balls. Each ball has a different point value. A yellow ball has a value of two points; a green one three points; a blue one five point and a white one seven. To strike an opponent's soccer ball, a black ball can also be used.
