This is an excellent game for a beginner who is opposing a skilled player. The object of the game is to shuffle your Weights up to the farthest (or, in TARGET shuffleboard, the highest) scoring position on the board, without knocking your Weights, or those of your opponent, off the board.
To start a contest, players decide by toss of coin or other means, who shall shuffle first and which color each shall have. In this fame, it is an advantage to shuffle the first Weight.
Weights are shuffled alternately, until all eight have been shuffled, which completes one round of play, just as in the traditional "Knock-Off" tournament shuffleboard game.
