For many years,
Shuffleboard Tables were mostly found in bar room
settings, where the most popular Table Shuffleboard game was "Knock
Off", which is generally played with either two or four people. Two
other games, Horse Collar, and Crazy Eights, have increased in
popularity, because they can be played by larger groups of people.
In recent years, the huge increase in the sales of Shuffleboard Tables
has greatly expanded the number of Table Shuffleboard enthusiasts. The
majority of tables are now going into private homes, where it is enjoyed
by family members of all ages. A Shuffleboard Table is often the focal
point of family gatherings. Horse Collar and Crazy Eights are especially
well suited for that environment, because the entire group of family and
friends can participate.
As the game continues to grow in popularity, Shuffleboard Tables can
increasingly be found in family game centers, hotel game rooms, golf
courses, ski resorts and country clubs. The biggest expansion has been
into corporate offices, where companies are finding Table Shuffleboard
to be a great tool to help increase morale, employee retention, and team
building.
Whether in formal tournament play, or informal friendly competition
among family members, co-workers and friends, more people than ever are
enjoying the Table Shuffleboard, and are captivated by the unique
combination of skill, strategy, and a bit of old fashioned luck. |
