Shuffleboard Tables

Shuffleboard began as a pastime for aristocrats in the 15th century. Originally, it was played on tabletops after dinner using coins. Eventually, metal weights were used instead. It wasn't until the 1800s that shuffleboard was played on decks of ocean liners. Today, shuffleboard is enjoyed in both forms. When playing on a shuffleboard table, however, you get a better feel of what kings and lords played in the earliest years of shuffleboard.

Shuffleboard tables are available in a variety of different stains and materials to match all of your home décor needs. Tables also come in different sizes to match your home gaming space, ranging from 9' to 22'. Their surface is polished, but proper play mandates the application of shuffleboard wax, which comes in a variety of speeds based on user experience and table length. Tables are surrounded with a gutter for pucks because part of the strategy involves pushing your opponent's puck off the table. Electric shuffleboard scoreboards and lights can also be added to enhance the experience.

Table shuffleboard does not require the use of cues or sticks to move the weights. Instead, the raised table surface allows players to play with their own hands. Most tables include a set of weights, so you can purchase everything at once. Check individual shuffleboard table descriptions to see which ones offer this. Games can be played to either 15 or 21, depending on how long you want the game to last. Variations of table shuffleboard include Knock Off, Horse Collar, and Crazy Eight.

If you are looking for a handsome edition to your home gaming room, shuffleboard tables combine fun and style.

During the summer, enjoy a leisurely game with friends and refreshments. In the winter, stay cozy indoors and play on your shuffleboard table with friends and family. Shuffleboard is a game about strategy and positioning, so it makes a great alternative in your game night line-up.
