Shuffleboard : An intriguing and entertaining game that requires both skill and strategy. Whether relaxing with friends or creating a competitive atmosphere with family, shuffleboard offers fun for all ages.
What is shuffleboard? Shuffleboard, also known as table curling, is a game in which players slide pucks across a long table to score points. The goal is to get your pucks as close to the end of the table as possible while simultaneously pushing your opponent's pucks away.
How do you play shuffleboard?
- Teams and pucks : You can play individually or in teams of 2 or more. Each team has 4 pucks.
- Slide : Take turns sliding the pucks across the table. The pucks must be completely in a scoring zone to earn points.
- Scoring : The winner of a round is determined by adding up the pucks that are further than the opponent's. Bonus points are awarded for 'hangers' (pucks that hang over the back edge of the board).
- Tactics : Consider your strategy: defend, attack or block.
- Switching sides : After each round, switch sides so that both players have an equal chance.
Where do you play shuffleboard? You need a shuffleboard table. The grains on the surface provide less resistance, which makes the pucks glide smoothly. Silicone powder (wax) is used to create the curling feeling.
