How to Play Puckhole
A hybrid game that combines the sliding action of shuffleboard with cornhole-style scoring.
How Do You Play?
Scoring works the same way as cornhole. Opposing players alternate sliding four pucks per round. Players switch turns after each puck until each player has slid all of their pucks.
If one of your pucks enters the Glory Hole, you earn 3 points. When your puck is completely in the Point Zone, you earn 1 point. If your opponent knocks or slides a puck onto the floor (even if it’s one of your pucks), you earn 3 points.
You must outscore your opponent to earn points for the round. Only the difference in score is awarded as points. The first player or team to earn at least 21 points by the end of a round wins the game. Ties are not possible. You may score more than 21 points, and you do not need to win by two.
Scoring Zones
Example Round
In this doubles game example, the Orange Team is about to slide their last puck. They already have:
- 1 puck in the Glory Hole (+3)
- 1 puck under the Cheater Bar (0)
- 1 puck pushed onto the floor by Green Team (+3 to Orange)
- Last puck landing in Point Zone (+1)
The Green Team has:
- 1 puck in Zero Zone (0)
- 1 puck in Trap (0)
- 2 pucks in Point Zone (+2)
Result: Orange Team wins the round 5 – 2. Only the difference (3 points) is added to their total score.
