Are you feeling bored, do you need something to enliven and brighten up your day. No television to watch or newspaper to read. Why not take up playing "Boat Snooker." No, you don't need a snooker table, though I suppose one might make a good alternative to using paving slabs as ballast. Like traditional snooker, each of the players has to take it in turn. Also like snooker, each colour has a given value which is used to accrue a score.
Red = 1 point.
Yellow = 2 points.
Brown = 3 points.
Green = 5 points.
Blue = 5 points.
Pink = 6 points.
Black = 7 points.
White = 0 points.
Moored Version of the "Boat Snooker" Game.
The rules:Outline:
The first player to reach a score of 147 wins the game.
The game lasts for a minimum of one hour, which can be varied depending on the level of boredom.
Boats passing your boat in either direction count.
Colours not in the points table do not count.
The game is commenced on the toss of a coin to see who goes first.
You must wait for a white boat to pass to start the game.
Scoring:
Each player must get a red for a score of one point before counting the next colour.
After each scoring colour greater than two points, you must get another red to continue.
If a second red boat follows after scoring a single point (red boat) it counts as a miss,and the next player takes over.
Dispute:
All disputed rule outcomes are decided on the toss of a coin. The outcome of a coin toss counts for a single instance. Further disputes will require a second toss of the coin.
Colour:
If the player gets a White for a score of 0 points. It counts as a miss and the next player takes over.
Boat colour is defined as the "predominant" colour.
Where a predominant boat colour is difficult to judge - the lowest value colour counts.
Shades of a given colour count as the primary colour for scoring.
