How many balls are there in the game of snooker?

used to watch it on BBC while stationed in England...even figured out the rules...red ball, color ball (any),till all red balls potted... after that colored balls in a specific order... your opponent is "snookered" when you don't leave them a chance to hit a red or colored ball

Player #3742615, 22 balls! 15 red, yellow, green, brown, blue, pink, black and the cue ball.

there are actually 23 because you have to have the cue ball to be able to legally play the game.

And that's a bad miss

Not very skilled at all, but loved to play socially.

How did the word "snooker" come about?

Player #3742615, didn't mean to hit dislike. sorry
