• Shuffleboard
•  
• Briefly, shuffleboard play consists of sliding or
  shuffling eight metal weights (nickels) over the
  highly polished playing field. Each team (or
  person) has four weights. Four are red and four
  are blue to distinguish teams or opponents The
  object of the game is to outscore your opponent
  by sliding your weights farther into the scoring
  area than his weight this is accomplished either
  by dislodging his weights or out-drawing
  (passing) them.
•  
• In the basic two-handed game, both players stand
  at the same end of the shuffleboard. They select
  their weights (four red and four blue) and decide
  who shall shoot first weight. The first player
  slides his weight by hand (or finger flick) from
  the playing end of the shuffleboard toward the
  scoring zones at the opposite end. In order to
  gain the points the weight indicates, the student
  must answer a question to the corresponding
  color. Red history, green geography, blue
  civics, and red economics. If he is correct his
  team receives the points. His opponent then
  shoots his first weight in a similar manner. The
  two players continue to alternate shooting
  weights and answering questions until all eight
  weights have been thrown. At this point a round
  of play has been completed and the score is
  tallied. (See Method of Scoring below.) Both
  players then proceed to the opposite end of the
  shuffleboard where the weights are now resting.
  The board is cleared and play is continued in
  exactly the same manner from that end, with the
  winner of the previous round shooting first.
•  In a two-handed (singles) match, the first
  player to score 15 points is the winner
• Weights on a line count for the lesser number of
  points.
• Weights staggering a color indicate a question
  from either category.
• Weights on an outside line count for no points
