Sjoelbak
(Dutch Shuffleboard, Sjoelen)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..... Dutch Shuffleboard 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.
