Archdeacon Nares explains Shovel-board to be "a common trivial game, which consisted in pushing or shaking pieces of money on a board to reach certain marks. Shovel-board play is graphically described in a poem entitled Mensa Lubrica, &c. written both in Latin and English by Thomas Master. The English Poem is cited at large in Bliss's edition of Anth. Wood, vol. iii. p. 84. The table had lines or divisions marked with figures, according to the value of which the player counted his game. It is minutely described by Strutt, Sports and Pastimes, p. 267, as still in use in pot houses, and played with a smooth halfpenny. The game was also called Shove-groat, Shove-board, and Shuffle-board." Glossary.
