Jogo da Malha This game is a lot like the American game of horseshoes and, not surprisingly, it has the same historical origins. When the ancient Romans began shoeing their horses, what was leftover was used for gaming. In Portugal, actual horseshoes aren’t used anymore: the game is played with metal plates or discs on a long dirt court. The objective is to knock down the metal stake at the other end of the pitch (15 to 18m away) or to be the closest to the stake once all discs are thrown. There is a shuffleboard-like variation played in Brazil where the court is slick and the discs are slid, not thrown.
