Shovelboard
In England of Shakespeare's time, it was an immensely popular game. It was called shove-board, shove-ha'penny, shove-ha'penny, shove-ha'penny, shove-ha'penny, shove-ha'penny. Today it's called shove-ha'penny because the ha'penny (pronunciation for half a penny) was what it was all about.
Today it's only known in pubs, used to be played in the royal court.
