Sjoelen 2.3.3

Sjoelen, pronounced "shoo-lun," is a traditional Dutch game that serves as a variant of shufflepuck. It is played on a wooden board featuring four compartments positioned at the rear. The objective involves sliding 30 wooden pucks, often referred to as "stones," into these compartments over the course of three rounds. At the conclusion of each round, any remaining stones on the board are collected for subsequent turns. Each compartment is assigned a different point value: 2, 3, 4, and 1 point respectively. Achieving one stone in each compartment grants a bonus of 10 points, encouraging players to aim for an even distribution of the stones across all sections.

This pastime is enjoyed across generations of Dutch households, from older individuals who are well acquainted with the game to younger players eager to challenge their elders. The engaging nature of Sjoelen makes it accessible and entertaining for players of various ages and skill levels. It offers a compelling combination of precision and strategic placement, making it a noteworthy addition to traditional indoor games.
