The Snooker tag refers to a specific type of cue sport that is played on a billiard table. It is characterized by its own set of rules, equipment, and gameplay mechanics.

In Snooker, players use a cue stick to strike colored balls with the objective of potting them in pockets on the table. The game is typically played between two players, and the ultimate goal is to score more points than the opponent by potting balls in a specific order.

Here are some key elements of Snooker:

• Table and Balls Snooker is typically played on large rectangular tables that are significantly larger than standard pool tables. The playing surface features six colored balls: red, yellow, green, brown, blue, pink, and black. In addition to these color balls, there is also one white cue ball.
• Potting Order In Snooker, the colored balls must be potted in a specific order after first potting any red ball(s). Players alternate turns as they attempt to pocket reds followed by any colored ball (starting with yellow) until no more reds remain on the table. After all the reds have been potted, players move onto potting just the colors in ascending point value: yellow (2 points), green (3 points), brown (4 points), blue (5 points), pink (6 points), and finally black (7 points).
• Foul Rules Snooker has strict foul rules that penalize players for certain actions such as failing to hit any ball or not hitting a desired target during their turn. Fouls result in penalty points being awarded to the opponent, along with additional opportunities for the opponent to pot balls.
• Strategy and Skill Snooker requires a combination of strategy, precision, and skill. Players must plan their shots carefully, considering both potting the balls and positioning for future shots. Strategic positioning of the cue ball after each shot is essential to maintain control of the game.

Snooker has gained popularity as a professional sport and is known for its high level of precision and strategic gameplay. The tag "Snooker" on Steam typically refers to video games that simulate or feature Snooker gameplay, allowing players to enjoy this sport virtually.
