Classic Shove Ha'penny. Made from dark (mahogany veneer) wood board. Inlaid sycamore bed dividers and walnut score areas.

Includes: 5 original Ha'pennies and rules

Dimensions: 58cm x 30cm

The aim is to shove the ha'pennies and have them land entirely in between the the lines on the board. If you manage to get one of the ha'pennies in this presice place then you get one point. In a full game you need to get three points in each line of the board.

To play you place the Ha'penny at the front of the board with the rear of the coin just sticking over the front edge of the board. You then shove the coin up the board using any part of your hand.

Once you have some hapennies in play if they are not in the right place you aim at them with your next hapenny in the hope that you will push them gently into a scoring position.

You can play a 'beat your own score game with one player, or play with many.

Includes: 5 original ha'pennies, rules and chalk for scoring.
Dimensions: 36cm x 50cm
This board is made of sapele wood board and has grooves as bed dividers.

Compendia says...
A traditional pub game that's become a Christmas family favourite. Shove ha'penny has been known as slide thrift, shove groat and push penny, the names reflect changes in currency over British history.
