SHUFFLEBOARD

SEE IT IN ACTION

Want to see what a game looks like? This short video covers the basics — rules, technique, and what to expect on game night.

WHAT IS SHUFFLEBOARD?

Table shuffleboard (also called "Dutch Shuffleboard" or "Sjoelen" in some circles) is a classic bar game played on a long, smooth table. Players take turns sliding weighted pucks down a 22-foot board, trying to land them in scoring zones without falling off the end. Think of it as bowling meets curling — with a beer in your other hand.

HOW WE PLAY IT

• Teams of 2: You can sign up solo (we'll match you) or bring a partner.
• Round-robin format: Every team plays every other team during the season.
• Best of 3 games: Each match consists of up to 3 games. First to win 2 takes the match. Games are played to 15 points.
• Season length: 6 weeks with 1 game night per week.

SCORING

The board is divided into zones marked 1, 2, 3, and 4. Pucks must cross the foul line to count. If a puck is hanging over the far edge, it scores bonus points. The first team to reach 15 points wins the game.

• Zone 1: 1 point
• Zone 2: 2 points
• Zone 3: 3 points
• Zone 4 (hanger): 4 points

DO I NEED EXPERIENCE?

Absolutely not. Most of our players had never touched a shuffleboard before joining. We do a quick intro before your first game, and by week 2 you'll be throwing like a pro. The beauty of shuffleboard is that it's genuinely easy to pick up but surprisingly strategic once you get into it.
