🇬🇧 Snooker meaning: English Vocabulary Flash Card
noun
Snooker is a careful aiming game played on a big, soft green table. Two players use long wooden sticks called cues to hit a white ball, which then knocks red and colored balls into small holes around the table. The balls have different points, and the players must pot them (knock them into the holes) in a special order to score. It’s a quiet, thinking game that needs good aim, patience, and very steady hands.
