Installing a flush-mounted table-top shuffler in an oversized aperture in a card table top may result in a gap between an edge of the shuffler top plate and a side of the aperture opening if the shuffler is not well centered in the aperture. The table may be covered with a felt having an underlying resilient pad. The pad may be compressed by a lip of the shuffler top surface so that a thickness of the shuffler top surface plate is subsumed in the depression in the table top covering caused by the weight of the shuffler. The range of horizontal motion of the shuffler in the aperture may be restricted by spacers so that a gap does not form and that the force applied to the resilient pad by the weight of the shuffler is more evenly distributed around the periphery of the top surface of the shuffler.

A game for children where the players roll a hook and loop receptive ball (such as a large tennis ball) at a plurality of hook and loop covered game pieces placed on a game board, so that the game pieces become attached to the ball. The game board can be in the form of a zoo, an ark, a house, etc. and the game pieces can be in the form of animals, numbers, letters, words, family members, etc. Players roll the ball to pick up the game pieces, and then place them in a collection area (such as a zoo cage for an animal). The first player to place all of their game pieces in their collection area is the winner. The game is a learning tool aimed at children ages 3-9 years old.
