Masters Traditional Games

Also known as Dutch Shuffleboard, Sjoelen and Jakkolo, Sjoelbak is a game of Dutch origin and consists of each player being given three chances to slide the disks along the two metre (6.5 feet) table in an attempt to get them through 4 arches numbered 1 to 4 at the other end. The twist that makes the game particularly engrossing, is that players have to aim at the low scores as well as the high ones because each set of 4 disks in 4 compartments scores double.....

The game comes into it's own at family get-togethers where it can be enjoyed by four year olds upwards but is also a game of great skill that is played competitively in Holland, Belgium and Germany.

Premier Sjoelen, Dutch Shuffleboard

At Masters Games, we specialise in high quality games and our premier sjoelbak board exemplifies this in every way.Traditional sjoelbak boards are hand-crafted and are family heirlooms passed down from generation to generation.Each board is an elegant article of furniture and simply sliding a disk down the smooth board is an fulfilling experience! We haven't seen another Sjoelbak that comes anywhere near the quality of these premier boards.

Pictured above is a Pine and Beech board. Please click on the picture to see a larger version.

Each one is hand-made in Britain from solid sustainable wood with the tender loving care of a traditional craftsperson. Great care is taken to conform exactly to the national Dutch sjoelbak regulations. For easy storage, a lid fits on top of the board at the far end to keep the disks in place and a bar drops into position so that the disks don't fall out.

Boards come complete with instructions and thirty two tournament disks (these are concave disks which slide more smoothly than flat disks - with two spares). They measure 200 x 40 x 5cm (79 x 16 x 2 inches). No tropical hardwoods are used in the making of this board. The standard board is made from Pine and Beech while the premier board is crafted from finest Chestnut and Oak and has slightly heavier base.

PLEASE NOTE THAT WE HAVE A HIGH RATE OF DAMAGE FOR THESE BOARDS DESPITE PACKING THEM EXTREMELY CAREFULLY. THEREFORE WE REQUIRE CUSTOMERS TO OPEN THE PARCEL AND CHECK THE BOARD INSIDE TO ENSURE THAT THEY ARE NOT DAMAGED BEFORE SIGNING FOR DELIVERY. THIS MEANS DELAYING THE COURIER DRIVER FOR 5 MINUTES WHILE THE PARCEL CONTENTS ARE CHECKED. IF YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TO GUARANTEE THAT YOU WILL DO THIS, PLEASE DO NOT ORDER.

We apologise for the inconvenience but this is the only way that we can cover ourselves. The only courier that will carry these boards, TNT, has broken them several times and consistently refuses to accept any responsibility for doing so.
