## What is Sjoelen?

Sjoelen (pronounced "shoo-lun") is a traditional Dutch variant of shufflepuck.  It is played on a wooden board with four compartments at the back.  The aim is to slide 30 wooden pucks ("stones") into the compartments in three rounds.  After each round, the stones left on the board are collected for the next.  The four compartments are good for 2, 3, 4, and 1 point, respectively.  One stone in each compartment yields a bonus of 10 points, so it pays to try and distribute the stones evenly.

This game is played by Dutch people of all ages, from "old enough not to try and eat the pucks" to "young enough to stand losing from your grand children".  Why don't you join in and try your aim?

### 4/5 — Inkompatibel mit iOS 14.2

*2020-11-17, version 2.3.2*

Eigentlich mit großem Abstand die beste Sjoelen—App auf dem Markt, nur leider nicht kompatibel mit iOS 14.2. Nicht mehr Spielberg - Schade

### 4/5 — Fun!

*2018-02-11, version 2.3.2*

Would love to be able to see how many discs there are in each slot. And sliding the discs is either too soft or rocket shots. No in between

### 5/5 — Love it

*2017-03-18, version 2.3.2*

Great game. Like the sounds and board. Would be great to see the pucks stacked in the slots as with the real game rather than on top of the score.

### 1/5 — Latest update has killed this great app....totally

*2017-02-20, version 2.3*

This has just been 'updated' and it no longer even loads on my 3rd generation ipad. Why, oh why can't things be left alone. Please do something about this.

### 4/5 — Fun game to pass the time

*2013-01-06, version 2.1*

A great realistic version of the original which we enjoy. Wish it had two player option to play against friends. A daily high score board would be nice rather than the static all-time high scores.

### 4/5 — Goed spel

*2012-04-29, version 2.0*

Heel leuk spel
Het is een aanrader

### 5/5 — Brilliant!

*2011-05-28, version 2.0*

I played this game for real last night (you know, in the physical world where you can actually touch things, pick them up etc?!) and playing this app shows it to be very true to life. 
The scores I'm achieving are just like those I got after playing the real thing for 3 hours, the graphics are good and even the sound effects are pretty close too. 
Works very well and smoothly on iOS 4.3.3. Worth the 59p if you know you like this game already.

### 2/5 — Needs update

*2011-05-13, version 2.0*

Great idea for an app,  clean graphics, but it is very difficult to finesse the speed of the pucks. Sometimes they just stick, or they go too fast.

### 2/5 — Bugs

*2011-05-05, version 2.0*

Ce jeu pourrait etre très bien mais il y a trop de bugs ! Impossible de lancer correctement les palets, parfois un palet sort du plateau et bloque le jeu. Dommage copie à revoir

### 1/5 — Idioot

*2011-05-05, version 2.0*

Het werkt traag, en het reageert niet!
