a table game where players slide weighted pucks to score points in scoring zones, played for fun and competition

Shuffleboard is a game played on a long, smooth table or court, where players slide pucks, also called "discs," towards a scoring area at the opposite end. The court is divided into sections with different point values, and the goal is to land the pucks in high-scoring areas while avoiding the lower-scoring parts. Players take turns sliding their pucks, trying to either score points or knock their opponent’s pucks out of scoring zones. The game requires precision, strategy, and careful control of the pucks. Shuffleboard has been enjoyed in social settings, like clubs and cruises, for many years.
