Puck-pushing pastimes

Shuffleboards is the plural of shuffleboard, a game in which players use long cues to push weighted discs across a smooth, elongated court toward a scoring area.

The game appears on cruise ship decks, in bars (as table shuffleboard), and in retirement communities: The shuffleboards were all occupied by eager players.
