QuickSnooker is a fast and fun simulation of the billiard table game. Play snooker, pool, and 9 ball against computer opponents or against a human player on the Internet. More than 5000 players and 40 countries are on-line, come and join the fun.
Rules of the Game:
Snooker
Snooker is truly a great, intelligent game - it combines skill and strategy like no other billiard table game.
If you're not familiar with the game, do take the trouble to learn, I guarantee it will take you less than half an hour - and you will know and love snooker for the rest of your life.
Snooker is played with 15 reds and 6 'colours' and a 'white' cueball.
Pool
The registered version includes 'British' pool - as played on coin-op tables in the UK.
It features a nicely animated set of stripes and spots. Here's my very quick summary of the rules:
- Player A breaks and generally attempts to pot one or more balls.
- Whichever ball player A pots he adopts that set (stripes or spots) - if he pots a ball from both sets he may choose either set
- Player A must now pot all of his balls in any pockets, in any order - he must always touch one of his own balls as the first impact in any shot, if he succeeds in potting a ball he takes another turn.
9-ball
The registered version includes 9-ball, a game found mostly in the United States. The rules in QuickSnooker are not exactly standard, due to some limitations of computer simulations.
Here's my very quick summary of the rules we use:
- A game is played as a best of n 'frames' (or 'legs'), where n is an add number.Player A breaks and generally attempts to pot one or more balls.
- At the start of each frame the object balls are arrange in a diamond with the 9-ball at the centre and the 1-ball at the head. The player with the first shot may place the ball anywhere behind the balk line. |
