If two are playing, one uses the four red discs...the other, the four black discs. If four are playing, they should separate into teams of two each, and play as in singles, alternating shots. STRATEGY OF GAME The object of TOP SHUFFLEBOARD, as in regular outdoor shuffleboard, is to place your own Discs in scoring positions and, if possible, to strike op- ponent's Discs so that they will be knocked out of scoring positions or into ‘‘10-off’’ penalty area. HOW TO SCORE Score is tallied only after both players or teams have completed play, with all eight discs having been used. Any Disc which rests in one of the num- bered boxes without touching the outside lines around the box adds that number (10, 8 or 7) to the player's score. Any Disc in the “10-off” box penalizes the player or team by 10 points, even if this results in a “minus” score. First person or team to reach a total of 50 is the winner. (Note—it is permissible, as in regular outdoor shuffleboard, to establish beforehand that 75 or 100 will be the winning score.) METHOD OF PLAY Person or team that has lost the toss of a coin goes first. He places the bottom of the shuffle- board Top through one of the four Discs of the color he has selected and, with the Top in the “starting zone” spins the Top clockwise with the right hand. The Top will move down the board, carrying the Disc along with it. Once the Disc has passed through the yellow neutral area, it is in “play” and cannot be removed until all the Discs have been played. If it stops in the yellow neutral area, it may be considered an “incomplete play’ and the shot repeated. When the Top has stopped spinning and has come to a complete rest, the turn is over. The Disc is to be left wherever it stops. Good players always try to spin the Top so that it will land in one of the high-score holes...in these cases, the Disc is left on the hoie when the Top is lifted out. The next player takes the shuffleboard Top and spins one of his colored Discs down the board as before. If his opponent’s first Disc is in a scoring position, his object is to knock it away by striking it with his Top-and-Disc. At the same time, he tries to place his own Disc in a scoring position. Players alternate with each other until the four red and black discs have been used. Each score is then tallied, deducting 10 from the total for any Discs in the “10-off” section. If a “minus” score results, it carries over to the next series of plays. Directions for placing legs on board are on the reverse side of the playing surface. ">
