Shuffleboard was first enjoyed in 1532 in England. To play shuffleboard, two or four players using long handled cues(sticks), push four (4) discs down along the court to a scoring diagram. The challenge of the game is trying to land your discs on the highest or total number of points on the scoring diagram. Along with that, the strategy is to stay on the scoring diagram, but try knocking off your opponents discs from scoring. |
