A couple of French entrepreneurs – Aurélien and Samuel – who are well known for their weird ideas created a game which combines  snooker and football together, that is, it’s a snooker but you actually play it with your legs like it’s football. OddityCentral News has more:

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.

SnookBall has two different variations – Game of 8 and Game of 9. In the Game of 8, the player who pockets the first ball gets to make his choice between the solid and striped balls. Then, the balls (either 9 or 15) are arranged in a triangle, with ball #1 at the top and #8 in the middle of the third line. The game commences and each player tries to pocket all the balls in his group. The game is lost when the #8 is either pocketed before all the other balls or leaves the playing surface, or when the white ball is pocketed or leaves the table after pocketing the #8 ball. If you’ve played billiards before, you already know these are standard rules.

In the Game of 9, players need to aim for the #9 ball. But this does not indicate an immediate victory – players need to go through a predetermined number of rounds and the one who wins the maximum number of rounds wins the game. Again, the balls are placed in a triangle with #1 at the top and #9 in the center.
