How to play Snooker
The White Ball: For every variation of Snooker games the white ball is the ball which the cue has to hit. The white ball’s movement affects the results of the game. Snooker is played with red balls (whose number depends on the game variation), 6 colored balls and a white cue ball. Pocketing a red ball is worth 1 point, The points obtained on pocketing the colored balls are as follows:
Yellow – 2 points, Green - 3 points, Brown - 4 points, Blue - 5 points, Pink - 6 points, Black - 7 points.
While there are still red balls on the table, the ball a player should hit (and pocket) alternates between red balls and colored balls, until there are no more reds on the table.
When there are reds on the table, and the turn switches to the next player, the ball to hit (and pocket) is always red. Colored ball must always be preceded by a red (unless there are no reds remaining on the table). You do not have to nominate a ball when you shoot red balls, but must do so when you shoot colored balls.
If you have just pocketed a red you may now shoot at any color, the color that you first hit is the one you must pocket - pocketing a different one is a foul.
When only colored balls remain, the balls must be potted in ascending numerical value.
In case of a tie, the player which made the last shot will receive ball in hand on the D area, and will try to pocket the black ball which is re-spotted. He who pockets the black ball wins the game.
