Table sized
shuffleboard. Coins are used as pucks
and they are shoved by a stiff 12-inch ruler.
Poster board has
an “out of
play” border on left and right sides.
At the far end, there is a “high score” region and
below it, a “low
score” region. The remaining 60% of
the
board closest to the player is labeled “no score.”
This game can be
played one
on one or in teams. Each player or team
has 4 coins. The round is over when
both players have played all 4 pucks.
Two points are awarded for any coin in the high-scoring area,
one point
for the low-scoring area, and no points for anything else.
The game ends when a player reaches a chosen
point value. Alternately, play could
end after a given number of rounds.
