English Billiards is played with 3 balls. Snooker is played with 1 cue ball, 15 reds and 6 colored balls making 22 in total. Common Pocket Billiards games may be played with 8, 10, 16, and 22 balls.
All three are different kinds of cue games: Billiards, Pool, and snooker. Billiard tables have larger pockets and use slightly larger balls than snooker. Other than that the tables are very similar in size and design. The smaller snooker balls are red, and yellow with white cue balls. They are not numbered like billiard balls and the game is entirely different than say 8 or 9 ball played in the USA. A billiard table can be converted to snooker because you can make the holes smaller to accommodate the snooker balls, but not vice-versa. In snooker you keep score and after all the balls are potted it is the one with the highest score that wins. 147 is the maximum score but theoretically 155 is possible. With billiards an infinite score is theoretically possible. In pool it is ho pots all their balls and the black first that wins.
Snooker
8-ball is played with total 16 balls. Out of which 1 is a cue ball, 7 are stripped balls, 7 solid colored ball and the remaining one is the black ball i.e. numbered 8. This is the main ball of this game and so the name of this game is 8-ball.
