shuffleboard
Cruise ship game
Shuffleboard is a game in which players use long cues to push weighted discs across a smooth surface toward a scoring area marked with numbered triangles.
The game appears on cruise ship decks, in bars (as a tabletop version), and in retirement communities: We played shuffleboard on the lido deck.
The term also refers to the court or table itself.
