Snooker variant

The initial fifteen red and four coloured ivory balls (with no pink or black) marked the beginning of an extensive series of diverse variants of games bearing the name “snooker.” Some games enjoyed considerable popularity, while others were merely remembered as an exotic pastime that had only been referenced in press articles. Some transformed classic snooker into a form of entertainment, while others made it more intricate than real chess. However, all of these variants can be considered to be forms of snooker, showcasing its diverse nature.
