Jaques 'ha'pennies' are perfect for use with any of our lovely shove halfpenny boards. Shove halfpenny is a great game for the whole family. It has been a popular pastime for centuries. Also popular in medieval England where great sums of money could be wagered on the game. The board had to be kept in a back room at the pub to prevent untrustworthy patrons from playing and causing brawls. That was bad for business. Even King Henry the VIII of England played Shove Halfpenny. Records show that he had to pay out large sums to members of his court who beat him. The game is played with five coins, which are shoved up the board, it is scored with horizontal lines.
