Creative Darts Games: Snooker

Imagine Darts and Snooker combined! This is an exciting darts game where you can experience the thrill of snooker on a traditional darts board. Here you have to focus not only on the targets, but also on the correct order of the corresponding sectors.

The rules are the same as snooker, so you have to hit a red ball first (sectors 1-15). If you have successfully hit the red "ball" then you have to hit a colored "ball" (16-20 + bull). Just like in the '01 darts games, every arrow counts, and here it is also possible that you will only be able to throw 1 arrow because you do not hit the necessary "ball" to continue your break, so don't just throw those arrows!

Summary of the rules of Snooker played on a Darts board:

Game objective:

• Achieve a higher score than your opponent

Start:

• Goal: To hit and "knock down" the red (1-15) and colored (16-20 + bull) balls in order.

• Start: Throw at one of the red balls, then aim for a colored "ball". If you succeed, you must hit another red "ball" followed by another colored one.
• The red "balls" can only be hit once, after which they do not return to the game.

• The colored "balls" are returned to the table until there are no more red ones in play. After that, they must be hit in ascending order when they are no longer returned.

Scoring:

• Red ball: 1 point.

• 16 yellow balls (2 points)
• 17 green (3 points)
• 18 brown (4 points)
• 19 blue (5 points)
• 20 pink (6 points)

• bull black (depending on the level of players, 25 can also count) (7 points)

Game over:

• The game ends when all red and colored balls have been removed or the difference between the two players exceeds the total value of the balls in play.

Point difference calculation:

• Number of red balls in play x 7 + total value of colored balls (27) < Point difference.

Maximum point:

• Maximum score: 147 (red + black after every red + total value of colored balls).

For those who are not familiar with the basics of snooker and the scoring system, here is a video of Ronnie O'Sullivan's historic performance. In this footage, O'Sullivan makes an impressive break, which also earned him a place in the Guinness Book of Records as the fastest perfect break ever, clocking in at just 5 minutes and 20 seconds, a feat that has yet to be broken.
