Snooker is played on a rectangular table covered with a green cloth, or baize, with pockets at each of the four corners and in the middle of each long side. Using a cue and 22 colored balls, players must strike the white ball (cue ball) to pot the remaining balls in the correct sequence, accumulating points for each pot.
