Used to play this when I lived in London... Seems a bit more complicated that other billiard games, maybe, but not really. When you learn it, you will love the strategies.
Number of Balls: 22 (1 cue ball, 15 red balls worth 1 point each, and 6 differently colored balls worth an increasing number of points)
How to Play: At roughly 12'x6', a snooker table is quite a bit larger than a standard pool table, but it also still has six pockets. Snooker games are played by players initially pocketing a red ball, then pocketing the other numbered balls in ascending order. The name "snooker" refers to one of the game's principal strategies: when you "snooker" an opponent, you create a situation in which they can't hit their ball in an easy, straight line.
Where to Find It: More common than carom but rarer than American eight ball, snooker can be a little tricky to find in the States (It's hugely popular in the UK, if you happen to be taking a trip there soon.)
My lady looooves snooker. She used to play when she was at uni in the UK. I didn't even understand the rules before I met her and yeah it's hard to find in the rest of Europe as well.
Thanks for the chance
