A game that seems to have been born to be played in bars, table shuffleboard bears a resemblance 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 Seattle area, with plenty of bars offering the game as a recreation option 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.
