The vampire-like visage of veteran snooker ace Ray Reardon grins alarmingly at you from the box. Dare you open it? If so, you will be rewarded with a green baize-covered plastic tray for throwing the three red ball dice, three colored ball dice and a 1d6 which is used for snookers. Pot a red, by throwing at least one red spot without displaying an "X" (signifying a foul), and you can nominate a color. Will you risk going for the black, or play safe by sinking a green or brown? A nicely-constructed wooden sliding scoreboard and comprehensive rules, including a brief history of the real game of snooker, completes the set.
