Abstract
A playing board for sliding body games, such as curling and shuffleboard, is herein disclosed. The playing board is formed with irregular surfaces and asymmetrical sides to increase the complexity of the games played on the board. In certain embodiments, various configurations of peaks and valleys can be incorporated that influence a direction, speed, or both of a sliding body that is travelling on the playing board.
