Here's a cool alternative game that can be played on a snooker table. It's called Killer.
在斯诺克球案上还可以进行另一个有趣的游戏。那就是Killer游戏。
This game is best played in groups of five or more. Set all 22 balls up in a triangle beneath the pink spot. Players then toss coins or are drawn out to decide an order of play. Each player is awarded a number of ’lives’, which is normally three but may differ dependent on the number of participants. Once an order of play is established a neutral person is asked to break the balls as hard as they can to open them up around the table. Player one then comes to the table and plays from where the white ball finishes. Player one must pot a ball as failure to do so will result in the loss of one of their lives. Player two then begins from the place the white ball has finished and so on. Play rotates after each player has had their shot. Once a player has lost all their lives they are removed from the game. The game proGREsses until all but one player has lost all lives given to them. They are then declared the winner. A foul (normal snooker rules apply) results in the loss of a player’s life.
这个游戏最好有5个或5个以上的游戏者。在粉球置点的下面，把所有的22只球摆放成一个三角形。游戏者可以抛掷硬币或抽签来决定进行游戏的顺序。每个游戏者可以获得几条“命”，通常是3条，但根据参与者数量的不同可以有所调整。一旦确定了游戏顺序，就请一个旁观者来开球，开球时他/她要尽力把球击散到台面各处。然后，第一个出场的游戏者走到球案，从白球停落的位置上开始击球。第一个出场的游戏者必须击进一个球，不然就会失去一条“命”。之后，第二个出场的游戏者从白球停落的位置上开始游戏，并依次进行下去。当所有游戏者都打过一轮后，游戏接着按顺序进行下去。当某名游戏者丢了所有的“命”以后，他/她就被淘汰出局。游戏一直要进行到只有一名游戏者留了下来而其他人都丢掉了他们的“命”。之后，他/她将被宣布为获胜者。游戏者犯规（一般的斯诺克规则所规定的）一次就将丢掉一条“命”。
