Initially a land game, shuffleboard was later adapted to be played on a table, floor, or hard outdoor surface. Now two or four people play at a time. The shuffleboard most of us are familiar with was defined in St. Petersburg, Florida, in 1924. The game was mostly enjoyed in retirement communities, but in more recent years shuffleboard has become popular with younger crowds all over the country and a cruise ship staple. These days you’ll find shuffleboard tables at bars and restaurants, in people’s homes, and enjoyed by all ages.
