The game
Quick Snooker, played properly
Quick Snooker keeps everything that makes snooker snooker, from colours in order to free balls, but racks only six reds on a smaller table. Frames are short, shots are quick, and every break counts.
Play a rival in the lobby, practise on your own with no clock, or learn the controls in the tutorial. It runs in any modern browser on desktop, tablet and phone.

Controls
Your cue, your stroke
No aiming lines and no ghost ball. The cue ball goes where your stroke sends it.
Shoot
Right-drag down to draw the cue back, then forward through the ball. On a phone, switch to Shoot and do the same with one finger. A faster stroke hits harder.
Spin and elevation
Pick the contact point on the cue ball for top, back or side spin, and raise the cue for a swerve or a jump.
Views
Play from the cue view, walk round the table in 3D, or look straight down in 2D.
Online
Play Quick Snooker against real players
Online, every match starts with a challenge: tap a player's name in the lobby, pick one frame, best of 3 or best of 5, and rated or casual. A rated match moves your rating once, on who wins the match, so a 2-0 and a 2-1 count the same. There are no aiming lines for anyone, in any mode.
