While shuffleboard is associated with the older generation, it should be known that it’s a family-friendly game that is enjoyed by people of all ages. If you have a new gaming room inside your home or a large enough space in your basement or garage, consider adding a shuffleboard table as doing so would provide your family and friends with non-stop, action-packed fun!
If you still think that shuffleboard is only played by elderly folks in retirement communities and on cruises, think again.
