A free 9-foot shuffleboard table with video chat. Make a room, send one link, and slide for the hanger — or play the AI when nobody's around.
This is table shuffleboard — the long waxed board you slide weights down, not the deck game with the cues. Kosmi gives you one for two people who already know each other: you make a room, you send a link, and whoever sits down at the other end is the one you invited.
Video and voice chat run inside the room, with each player's camera at their end of the board. Everyone else in the room can watch and heckle, with up to eight of them on camera around the board.
The board runs in the browser, on a laptop or a phone. Your friend opens the link and sits down — no app, no account. On a phone the table runs down the screen and you flick with your thumb.
Press Play against AI and Kosminaut takes the other seat. It draws to the zones, knocks your weights into the gutter when that's the better shot, and throws a bad one often enough to be worth beating.
Regulation 9-foot layout, 2 5/16-inch weights, gutters down both sides. Trailing edge decides the zone, touching a line counts as the lower one, and a puck short of the foul line comes off.
Place the weight anywhere in the hand zone and throw it with a flick. How fast you're moving when you let go is the power — no meter, no spin. Your opponent watches you line it up.
When the match ends, the same room does watch parties, pool, poker, card games and retro consoles. You don't have to move anywhere.
Shuffleboard scoring throws people the first time. It's simpler than it looks.
You each get four weights a round, thrown one at a time, alternating, both from the same end. When all eight are down, the board is scored — and only one of you scores. Whoever owns the puck furthest down the board takes the round, and they score every puck of theirs lying beyond their opponent's best one. Everything behind that is worth nothing.
What each of those pucks is worth depends on where it stopped. The far end is striped into 3, 2 and 1, and a weight that overhangs the far edge without falling off is a hanger, worth 4. The trailing edge is what counts, so a puck sitting on a line scores the lower zone. Anything that stops short of the foul line, or gets knocked into the gutter, is dead for the round.
Then the ends swap and the next round starts. The player who scored throws first, which means the one who got nothing keeps the hammer — the last weight of the round, and the chance to knock the whole thing over. First to 15 wins.
Standard table shuffleboard, refereed by the board, so you know what you're sitting down to.

Create a Kosmi room with the shuffleboard table in it, send your friend the room link, and take a seat each. The match starts by itself the moment both seats are filled — no account needed to join, and nothing to install on any device.
Yes, completely. The table, the video chat and the room are free, and there's no limit on how many matches you play. Kosmi Premium exists for other things, but nothing about the shuffleboard game is paywalled.
Table shuffleboard — the long wooden bar game where you slide weighted pucks down a board. It's a regulation 9-foot layout: a 108 by 20 inch bed, gutters down both sides, the 3-line six inches from the far edge and the 2-line twelve inches in. No cues, no floor discs.
Only one player scores per round: whoever has the puck furthest down the board. That player scores every one of their pucks lying beyond the opponent's best one. A puck is worth 1, 2 or 3 depending on which zone its trailing edge is in, and 4 if it's a hanger overhanging the far edge. First to 15 wins, or 21 if the room admin sets it.
Yes. Sit down and press Play against AI, and Kosminaut, the room's AI companion, takes the other seat. It aims for the scoring zones, knocks your weights off when that's the better shot, and misses often enough to be worth beating. While you're waiting for anyone at all, you can keep throwing your own four weights on the idle table.
No. The board runs in the browser, and guests join straight from the room link without signing up. It works on phones as well as laptops — on a phone the table runs down the screen and you flick with your thumb.
Yes. Video and voice chat are built into the room, so both players are on camera at their end of the board, and everyone else in the room can watch the match and talk — up to eight of them on camera around it.
Grab a weight in the hand zone at your end, slide it to where you want to shoot from, and flick. The speed of your flick when you let go is the power, so a soft push leaves it short and a hard one sends it off the end. There's no spin — it's a slide, not a cue shot. Full power carries a weight clean off the board, and about 85% of it parks in the 3.
