High Point Market Here We Come!

We are very excited to announce that we will be attending High Point Market this Spring (April 20 - 25). We're bringing with us a Saratoga, a Grand Deluxe Sport, and our newest table, the Savannah. We may have a few other surprises in store for Market, but you'll have to wait.

Venture Shuffleboard x Monday Night Brewing from Venture Shuffleboard on Vimeo.

We recently built a custom shuffleboard table for our friends over at Monday Night Brewing to have in their tasting room as entertainment during their brewery tours.

Playing Shuffleboard with Four Players

With four players, split into teams of two players each. Place one player from each team at the opposite end of the board. Like a two-player game, toss a coin or use another method to determine who will shoot first and the color of the weights. Then each team should designate who will shoot the first round.

These two players will shoot their weights alternately, until all eight weights have been shuffled. Their actions conclude one round of play.

The winner of the round is the team whose leading weight is the farthest down the board.  Their score is then totaled and registered on the scoreboard.

The team players at the opposite end of the board, where the weights are now resting, clear the board and begin another round of play from their end - in exactly the same manner as the first round. The partner of the previous round's winner shoots the first weight. The game continues as many rounds as necessary, until one team scores a total of 21 points.

Playing Shuffleboard with Two Players

Start a two-person game by standing, with your opponent, at the same end of the shuffleboard. Toss a coin - or use another method you prefer - to see who will shoot the first weight and the color of the weight.

The player whose leading weight is farthest down the board is the winner of the round. Their score is then totaled and registered on the scoreboard.

Both players should now proceed to the opposite end of the shuffleboard, where the weights are now resting. With the winner of the previous round shooting first, play another round of shuffleboard in exactly the same manner as described above. The game continues until one player scores 15 points, or 21 points for longer game play.

The Object of the Game

The object of regular shuffleboard is to slide, by hand, all four of your weights alternatively against those of your opponent's to the highest scoring area without them falling off the end of the board into the alley. Only the winner receives a score. To be the winner, your weight(s) must be further down the board than your opponent's. You can achieve this by knocking off your opponent's weight(s), or by outdistancing them on the board.

The Hammer is the last shot in the frame (or round). The person or team who has the Hammer in any given frame is considered to be on the defensive. In other words, it is an advantage to shoot last.
