Shuffleboard is a game where players push a small disk in a narrow elongated play area with the purpose of positioning it within a marked area.

Shuffleboard is traditionally played on one of two scales; Deck Shuffleboard and Table Shuffleboard. In Deck Shuffleboard, the players use sticks to push disks along a smooth surface (e.g. the deck of a ship placing the disk within a numbered triangle for point value. In Table Shuffleboard, the play area is a laminated surface covered with glass 'sand' (to reduce friction), the players use metal pucks and place them within zones at the other end.

The game is usually played on a large, rectangular precisely levelled and manicured grass surface known as a bowling green, but an indoor variation on synthetic grass , the player only controls the puck for a short time, pushing it towards the far end. The skill lies in judging the distance correctly and carefully positioning the puck down the long board.

Shuffleboard can be played either one-on-one or by two teams of two. After all pucks have been played on one 'end', only the winning puck or group of pucks scores.
