Places to Play Table Shuffleboard Washington, D.C.

Considered by many to be the ideal bar game, shuffleboard somewhat resembles the Olympic sport of curling. A fun sport for groups with two or three players to a team, shuffleboard has a large following in the Washington, D.C. area, with plenty of establishments offering game play for its patrons. The object of shuffleboard is to score more points than your opponent by either knocking his pucks off or by sliding your pucks past his into a higher score zone. Usually, the winner is the first player or team to reach 15 points. While billiards has been a standard recreation option for bar patrons for decades, shuffleboard is certainly catching up to pool in popularity, and in some venues, shuffleboard may have even surpassed the popularity of billiards.
