Shuffleboard

The two types of shuffleboard have differences and similarities. In both games, the goal is to slide a disk across the playing surface and have it stop within set points areas. In deck shuffleboard, however, a long wooden stick is used to push the disk, and the playing surface is on the ground. In table shuffleboard, the disk is pushed with the player's hand and, as the name suggests, the surface is on a raised table.

Each of these is primarily popular in slightly different environments. Deck shuffleboard is perhaps most associated with cruise ships as a game to pass the relaxing hours between ports. Table shuffleboard is found most often in bars and gaming halls.

For most people interested in taking up shuffleboard, the table version is most practical. Table shuffleboard is a fun and unusual addition to a home game room. Take a few minutes with these helpful articles about shuffleboard before purchasing.
