Word origin

The term 'shuffleboard' dates back to the 15th century, originally used to describe games played on a narrow court with sliding pucks. The word combines 'shuffle', which means to slide, and 'board', referring to the playing surface. The game has roots in various European regions, with similar games played in both England and Scandinavia. The modern version we know today gained popularity in the United States in the 19th century, particularly in seaside resorts and cruise ships, where it became a favored pastime for social gatherings. Over time, different variations emerged, including deck shuffleboard, which is played on a larger outdoor court, and table shuffleboard, which is played on smaller tables. The game continues to be popular in social settings, with leagues and competitions held across the country.
