Sjoelbak Disks
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.
The disks we sell here are superior tournament disks. They are slightly concave and therefore slide significantly more smoothly than flat disks. The are 2 inches diameter, 1/2 inch high (51mm diameter, 13mm high). The Schilte disks have sharper edges and for use on Schilte boards and our hand-made Sjoelbak boards. The Heemskerk disks have slightly rounder edges and will naturally be best suited for use with Heemskerk boards.
