Rules A Beginner Must Know 
Before Playing On A 12 ft. 
Shuffleboard Table 
Shuffleboard is a game that uses a longboard and disks. 
It is an incredibly easy game to learn, fun, and intuitive 
once the rules are understood. Players try to move their 
discs as far as possible on the board without straying over 
the edges or the finish line. Although there are some 
significant changes, the rules are similar. 
 
Every shuffleboard, whether a 12 ft shuffleboard table 
or some other table, is normally played with two players. 
The person who reaches 15 points over a series of rounds 
is the winner of the game. There are many rules and tips 
that you must know before beginning this game.  
 
In this article, we will discuss some interesting things 
you must know before you begin to play.  
HOW TO PREPARE A 12 FT 
SHUFFLEBOARD TABLE? 
Before you can begin, you need to ensure that the plank 
is coated in a suitable amount of shuffleboard wax to 
allow the weights to slide down the plank easily. Make 
sure neither too little nor too much is present.  
 
The weights will have difficulty navigating drifts created 
by an excessive amount of wax. A lack of wax will result 
in excessive friction, which could cause the weights to 
stop working too soon. 
HOW TO START THE GAME?  
Once your shuffleboard table has been prepared with 
silicone wax, you can assign a color to each player. After 
that, play a brief round of rock-paper-scissors to choose 
who will go first. The winner chooses whether to go first 
or second (going second normally carries a strategic 
advantage). 
 
The player going first starts the round by sliding their 
weight down the plank while standing behind the 
horseshoe. The objective is to place your weight as close 
to the plank's end as possible without falling into the 
gutters or over the edges.  
 
Additionally, the weight has to cross the table's minimal 
scoring line. A puck is eliminated and does not count 
towards scoring if it does not cross this line. 
 
The second player then has a turn, and they, too, must 
aim to place their weights as close to the finish line as 
possible. Players can employ various strategies during 
the round to try and increase their chances of earning a 
higher score.  
 
Players may attempt to remove their opponent's weights 
from the board or purposefully leave "blocker" weights 
on the board to either safeguard scoring weights or 
otherwise make their opponent's shots more challenging. 
 
Players take turns sliding weights down the plank until 
all of their weights have been used, at which point the 
round's scoring is calculated. 
HOW TO SCORE A SHUFFLEBOARD 
ROUND? 
Once all the weights have been played, it's time to see 
how the round has been scored. One player can only 
score in each round, making it almost comparable to 
scoring a round in curling. 
 
The player with the most weight on the plank receives 
the most points. 
Count the number of points scored by the weight that has 
traveled the farthest along the plank by looking at the 
scoring zone it has reached.
