History
Snowball is the winter version of the famous Sandball. It has the same atmosphere, principal and excitement as before, but with a small change "the roucouflette" which is worth 3 points. This is a new word/term created specifically for Snowball, it's a mixture of a roucoulette (Sandball term) and a tartiflette. A roucoulette that can stick to the ground as well as fly into space!
