SnookBall – A Sport That Lets You Play Billiards with Your Feet

Hey there! Getting coffeed out yet? Try adding a flavour shot to your brew...like vanilla, almond, chocolate or hazelnut. I'll occasionally add hazelnut when I order a Tim's decaf...which is pretty ugly coffee. Anyway, good of you to drop by for your daily brew...and a virtual muffin. Say...there's a new game in town...

SnookBall is a combination of snooker and football – it’s crazy fun because you actually get to kick the balls into pockets instead of using a cue stick. The sport is played on a giant billiards table that multiple players can walk on. All the rules are the same as snooker, except that you use your feet instead of a cue and the balls are replaced by footballs.

The wacky sport is the brainchild of a couple of French entrepreneurs – Aurélien and Samuel – who are well known for their weird ideas. It is generally a two player game, but the table can accommodate up to four players. 

All the footballs retain the look of standard billiards balls, but are obviously larger and lighter. The white striker ball is slightly heavier than the rest, just to make the game more interesting.

Add a little alcohol into the mix and anything could happen. How about Strip Snookball! Oh! Oh! Better leave that one alone, eh! This game was bound to happen..after the advent of Footgolf, what else but Snookball. Should be a big hit in the bars in Thailand.

See ya, eh!
