Subject: table-top, shuffleboard-style game. name?
Written By: Luke on 03/14/05 at 11:16 am
I'm trying to remember the name of these toys. My brain is grouping them together with Spinjas so maybe they came out around the same time or just prior. The object of the game was similar to shuffleboard/curling/bocceball etc. I remember playing it on table-tops in elementary school. Players would take turns sliding their quarter-sized ball-bearing "pucks" in an attempt to get closest to the table's edge without falling off - or getting knocked off by your opponent. This is all a waste of time but then again so is purging the bowels of my brain just trying to remember such a trivial tidbit -- there must be some reason I need to know. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
