Snooker

Snooker brings the measured pace and tactical depth of the real table to your screen. You line up each shot on a crisp virtual felt, accounting for angle, power, and side spin just as you would in a club. The ball physics feel believable, with gentle rolls, crisp contacts, and a satisfying pocket drop that makes every pot count. Beyond simple potting, the game asks you to think several moves ahead. Break building, safety play, and snookering your opponent are all part of the challenge. Whether you are a casual player looking for a quick frame or a purist chasing century breaks, this title offers a faithful and relaxed take on the sport, playable straight from your browser without any setup.

What is Snooker

A faithful snooker simulation with realistic ball physics and precise cue control, ready whenever you have a few minutes to spare.

How to Play

Drag the cue to set your aim and adjust power, then release to strike. Use the mouse or touch to apply spin and fine-tune your shot before playing.

Tips for Playing

  • Start each shot by aligning the cue ball's center with the target ball's center for a straight pot.
  • Use backspin to stop the cue ball after contact and keep it in position for your next shot.
  • When the balls are tangled, play a safety shot to tuck the cue ball behind a color.
  • Keep the cue ball close to the object ball to reduce the chance of missing the pot.
  • Practice your break-off to scatter the reds while leaving the cue ball safe near the baulk cushion.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the basic rules of snooker?

You must pot a red first, then a color, alternating until all reds are gone, then pot colors in order. Each red is worth one point, and colors range from two to seven points.

How do I apply spin to the cue ball?

Most versions let you adjust the cue tip's position on the ball before shooting. Placing it low gives backspin, high gives topspin, and left or right adds side spin.

What happens if I pot the cue ball?

Potting the cue ball is a foul. Your opponent gets a bonus of four points (or the value of the ball on if higher) and a chance to place the cue ball in the "D" to continue.

Is there a time limit for each shot?

No, there is no strict time limit in most casual versions. Take your time to line up the perfect shot, just as you would in a real match.

Can I play against the computer or another person?

Yes, the game typically offers both single-player matches against AI and a local two-player mode for competing with a friend on the same device.

What is a century break?

A century break means scoring 100 or more points in a single visit to the table without missing. It requires careful planning and consistent potting.
