Upgrading Your Game Room With a Shuffleboard Table

If you’re looking for a fun and unique way to upgrade your game room, shuffleboard tables fit the bill. Shuffleboard is a casual, enjoyable game, and you can find a table to complement just about any space and style.

The Game of Shuffleboard

People have been playing shuffleboard for more than 500 years. There are no complex rules to learn or feats of athleticism needed; you simply send your weights gliding down the court or the table in an attempt to score the most points and maybe bump your opponent’s weights off the board as well. (Tables are padded to reduce noise.) Official games have standardized scoring and are played one-on-one or with two teams of two players each, but feel free to make up your own versions and house rules to accommodate any number of players.

Shuffleboard Tables

Shuffleboard began as an outdoor game played on a court with large discs. This version is still popular today, but shuffleboard tables bring the fun indoors and don’t require cue sticks. While the tables used in official competitions are 22 feet long, you can find tables as short as nine feet and almost every length in between. Most tables are 30-32 inches high and 30-32 inches wide.

Shuffleboard tables are made from a wide variety of wood and feature an array of colors, finishes, and design styles. When choosing a table, take the time to find the perfect match for your space. If you’re visiting a showroom, bring measurements and photographs so you’re not working from memory. When taking measurements, it can be helpful to have a friend or two act out the game so you know how much room to allow at each end of the table.
