Snooker is played with 22, unnumbered object balls, divided into two groups of 15 red balls, 6 balls of different colours and one white ball (the cue ball). Each ball has a different point value: red=1, yellow=2, green=3, brown=4, blue=5, pink=6, and black=7. LEARN THESE

Understand that you're trying to score a higher number of points than your opponent by potting the balls, i.e. sinking the red and the coloured balls alternately into the table pockets.

The person who challenged you first has the first shot. The player has to cause the cue ball to contact a red ball. If he fails to do this, the other player tries, but the other player automatically recieves 4 points.

The first player to cause the cue ball to contact a red ball continues by potting one of the coloured balls and then a red ball in sequence until he fails. Then, the turn is moved to the other player, who has to pot a red then a coloured ball in sequence until he fails. Be noted that, if you fail to hit a red first off, the player will recieve 4 points, or if you have hit a colour before a red, then you will get however many points the ball is.

If you pot cue ball (white) in the pocket that is foul and other player reciave 4 points.

Continue in that manner as long as there are still red balls on the table. As long as there are red balls on the table, all the potted coloured balls return to their original position on the table.

Pot the lowest value to the highest value coloured balls in sequence after the red balls run out. From then on, the coloured balls are no long put back in their original position.

The snooker game ends when there are no longer balls on the table. The winner is the player who had scored the highest number of points.
