## Description
Get ready for a table snooker match, but with dice! Pot Black Snooker Dice puts you face-to-face with the legend Ray Reardon (yes, the one with the vampire-like visage!) and invites you to try your luck on the billiard table. The game comes with a green tray simulating the snooker table, where you'll roll dice representing the red and colored balls, plus a 1d6 die for 'snooker' shots (those trickier plays).

The objective is straightforward: pot a red ball by rolling at least one red spot without committing a foul (indicated by an 'X'). If you succeed, you can choose which colored ball to aim for next. Will you risk going for the black right away or play it safe with the green or brown? All this comes with a cool sliding wooden scoreboard and a rulebook that explains the game and even tells a bit about the history of the sport. It's a quick and fun way to experience the thrill of snooker in the palm of your hand, perfect for those who enjoy dice games with a touch of sports simulation and aren't intimidated by a retro aesthetic.
