A game where players push weighted discs across a smooth board toward numbered scoring areas.
From 'shuffle' (to push without lifting) and 'board' (a playing surface). The game originated in medieval England as 'shove-groat' before evolving into the modern shuffleboard.
Shuffleboard became hugely popular on cruise ships because it's one of the few games where elderly players can genuinely beat younger ones through precision and strategy rather than speed—the physics stays constant no matter your age.
