12 foot wood

Are you tired of waiting in line for a game of Shuffleboard?  Just kidding.  Seems as though the shine has worn off the game that was so popular among British Soldiers, that King Henry VIII imposed a ban on “Shovel Board” so they could spend more time practicing archery.

With variations such as Horse Collar and Crazy Eight it’s a game that warrants more than a few calls of “I’ve got winner,” yet too often you’ll find the pucks resting right where you left them.

We can only assume it is a game in desperate need of an “awareness” campaign, so here you go Pioneer Endicott residents, your definitive HOW TO GUIDE for adding Shuffleboard to your next “Game Night.”

Common Rules

1. Alternate Turns

2. Land your Puck in the highest scoring area on the shuffleboard without falling into the Alley

3. Score by landing your Puck(s) farthest down the board

4. First player to 15 or 21 (both common) wins!

There you have it!  You can reference this cheat sheet from McClure, look for the laminated Rules sheet next to our Shuffleboard table in the Pioneer Endicott Social Lounge, or save this page along with all your favorite Pioneer Endicott Blog posts.  Once you feel like an MVP, take your game on the road to The Bulldog and throw down your quarters!
