Shuffleboard Tables: 5 Fast Facts

Fact #1. Shuffleboard tables are miniaturized versions of the original game, which is played with much larger pucks that competitors move with long cues. The history of this full-sized game is muddy at best. It's interesting that it, like croquet, eventually developed into a tabletop game.
Fact #2. We do know that shuffleboard, or some variant thereof, was played in the royal court of King Henry VIII. As with many of the games played in that court, the King made it illegal for commoners to play. He was a big fan of making and breaking rules. Just ask the Roman Catholic Church. Since those days, the game has shared a marginal place with the likes of Bocce ball and curling.
Fact #3. Before you select a shuffleboard table, it's important to realize that these are heavy installations. They're often made of solid wood. They'll likely remain where you put them for years to come, very much like a pool table. Your intentions for the table will go a long way towards helping you purchase the right model.
Fact #4. If you're a bar owner with a somewhat rowdy clientele, it might be a good idea to save some money and go with a model made from less expensive wood. At the end of the day, most of the woods used in these tables are comparably durable. It'd be much less painful to replace a cheaper table that's been beaten into uselessness by drunken fools. Less expensive tables are also ideal for children.
Fact #5. Whatever quality shuffleboard table you end up with, there are some additional features that can make the game easier and more enjoyable to play. High-quality pucks, included shuffleboard wax, and a built-in means for keeping score are among the most useful features to seek out when shopping around.
