Pitch
Shuffleboard
Pitch, also known as "Setback," is a trick-taking card game that is typically played by four to seven players. It is a highly strategic and competitive game that uses a standard deck of 52 playing cards. Coffee and cards provided.
Floor shuffleboard is played on a long and narrow rectangular playing surface, with marked scoring zones at the opposite ends. The objective is to slide weighted discs or pucks down the playing surface, landing them in designated scoring areas or knocking opponents' pucks out of scoring positions. Shuffleboard benefits seniors by being low-impact and social while also requiring mental engagement and being adaptable to many mobility levels.
