🛠️ How it Works
- 1. Set Players: Choose how many players are joining (2–4) and how many secret balls each gets.
- 2. Secret Assignment: Click "Start Game" and each player takes turns to reveal their assigned colour ball.
- 3. Unlock First: During the final reveal stage, each player's card is initially locked. To see the result, you must click the Unlock button (🔒 icon or custom lock icon) first.
- 4. One-Way Unlock: Once unlocked, the player can toggle the “Show/Hide” button to view or hide their assigned colour ball. The unlock action is permanent and cannot be re-locked.
- 5. Play the Game: Use your secret ball info as part of the Shuffle gameplay. Try not to reveal your ball unless necessary!
This tool fits naturally into your pre-game setup — use it before the break-off, and let the mystery guide your shots while keeping sneaky reveals in check!
🎯 What’s This For?
Snooker Shuffle is a web tool built to make the Shuffle game in Snooker fair, secret, and fun! 🎱 It helps players draw their secret coloured ball randomly before a match, ensuring mystery and fairness.
Each player reveals their ball secretly — but now with a smart twist! 🎯 To prevent cheating or peeking, a 🔒 Lock-to-Unlock system has been added. Players must unlock their assignment before they can view or toggle it.
This prevents opponents from sneakily checking others' balls, adding trust and accountability to the game setup.
Perfect for:
- 🧑🤝🧑 Casual club games
- 🎉 Friendly tournaments
- 📱 Quick mobile use before a match
Just open the tool, set the number of players and balls, and assign them randomly with secrecy and style!
🎲 How to Play the Shuffle Game
Each player draws a secret coloured ball number (2 to 7) before the match starts. These assignments are kept hidden.
- 🔴 Qualify: To qualify for potting your colour ball, you must pot at least 3 reds. If you foul before qualifying, you must pot 1 extra red per foul.
- 🎯 Objective: After qualifying, try to pot your assigned coloured ball. You don’t have to use a corner pocket — any legal pot counts!
- 💥 Defense: You can prevent others from winning by potting their colour balls — but only after qualifying.
- 👻 Dead Balls (3+ players): If your assigned ball has already been potted by someone else, you can declare it dead after potting a red and requalify to stay in the game.
- 🏁 Win: You win by potting your ball and then revealing your assignment as proof.
Use this tool to assign balls secretly and bring extra strategy and mystery to your snooker sessions!
