shuffleboard

They say shuffleboard takes 2 minutes to learn and a lifetime to master. And that’s not taking into account your cocktail consumption. Still, it’s pretty hard to be bad at shuffleboard and pretty hard not to have fun. Impossible shots could be just a biscuit slide away.

What the Big Lebowski did for bowling, Happy Gilmore did for golf, and Guardians of the Galaxy did for mix tapes, Larks is doing for shuffleboard. It’s about time.

We can thank the Baby Boomer generation for the birth and eventual explosion of “family entertainment" options in the 50's. Bowling, miniature golf, ping pong, roller rinks, little league baseball, pinball, Pop Warner football, drive-in movies, street hoops, hula hoops, whiffle ball, frisbee, marbles, swimming pools, croquet, bicycles, and yes, shuffleboard.

And while shuffleboard, like all things, rode a roller coaster of popularity over the decades, its simplistic fun, social compatibility, and skill level for all ages is again bathing in retro glory.

THE GAME

First of all you get to play with tangs and biscuits, do I need to go any further? OK, it’s fun, it’s easy, it’s recreational, it’s competitive (you choose), you can play in shorts, with a cocktail in your hand, and you will never even break a sweat. If you can count to 75, you can play.

Two teams, with four biscuits each, take turns sliding their biscuits to the other end of the court, featuring numbered sections on a triangle grid. The number the biscuit lands on, without touching the lines, is the points you get, or points you lose for each biscuit. Also, you can blast your opponents’ biscuits into oblivion, but that’s about it. First to 75 wins.

SCORING

A scoring biscuit can’t touch ANY line, not even a little. Any disk that lands in the kitchen is worth -10 points. Add up points at the end of each frame and the team with the most points at the end of the match wins!

LARKADE

The Larkade is our hybrid version of the arcade, old-school cool with today’s high-tech challenges.

It was decided on day one that the Larkade would take its well-earned seat amongst Shuffleboard and Putt Club as one of the crown jewels of Larks Entertainment’s amusement royalty.
