Description

A statistical simulation game by Roberto Chiavini focusing on the Snooker World Championships. Initial releases allow replaying of the 1927-30 championships, or the 1977-80 championships. Every player in the competition is rated with an Effectiveness value (representing points scored through the tournament) and a Tournament rating (representing how far the player advanced, and providing the opportunity for bonus dice each round.) Each frame players tests their Tournament rating, then throw a number of 10-sided dice based on that result. The total showing on the dice is added to the Effectiveness value and the higher total wins the frame.
