Shuffleboard tables are quite possibly the oldest tabletop game that is still played today. The origins of shuffleboard can be traced back to the 15th century in England. The objective of the game is to slide four weights alternately against those of an opponent, so that they reach the highest scoring area without falling off the end of the board. The game was originally played on a table with a large British coin, and from there it evolved into the shuffleboard that is played today.
