You shoot from there, taking turns pushing it to the opposite triangle and trying to drift it into the scoring zones. Similar to Cornhole, Horseshoes or Bocce, two players (opponents) are on one side of the lane while their partners are on the other side of the lane. All eight of the biscuits (pucks), yours and your opponents, are lined up in the bottom part of the triangle that is painted on each end of the lane. It was loud and I tuned out, so I just trusted that someone in my group paid attention and went along with what they did before realizing there’s a handy-dandy cheat sheet at each of the shuffleboard lanes. The laminated card is written like airline safety instructions it’s got an illustration with step by step details and rules on what you’re supposed to do. None of us remembered how this game was played but a Lane Captain was sent over to give us the low-down on how it was supposed to be done. We then received our biscuits: four yellow and four black and were sent on our way. We waited a bit, maybe 10-minutes, for a lane to clear from the previous players. Some were there to watch football, drink at the bar or just eat. I mean people from the front door to the back door were playing shuffleboard, cornhole, Jenga or Connect 4. We arrived at 9:00pm, parked in the back parking lot, and walked into an already crowded Tang and Biscuit. Just a random Friday night decision to try something new. Recently, a group of us got the chance to experience it for ourselves. By now you’ve likely heard of Tang & Biscuit, a shuffleboard facility, that opened in Scott’s Addition. Plenty has been written about it About how big it is, and how it has 10-lanes, an event space with yard games or how it’s got a 50-foot bar – but I’m not sure anyone has written about what playing the game is actually like.
