A Classic Dutch Game. A Lifetime of Fun.
But what exactly is Sjoelen?
Sjoelen (pronounced “shoo-lin”) is a classic Dutch table game that has been entertaining families for hundreds of years. Also known as Dutch Shuffleboard (and many other names), it has grown in popularity around the world since the 19th century for the simple reason that it’s incredibly fun.
The game takes its name from the “sjoelbak” (pronounced “shool-bak”), which is the long wooden board you play on. This is also where Sjoelbak Australia takes its name.
Sjoelen is an easy game. Players of all ages can pick up the rules in minutes, making it the perfect bonding activity for families, friends, and even rivals in a communal space. You can read the rules on our website and even buy a decor sign as an add on to your shuffleboard order so you can hang it in your games room.
The game involves plenty of skill and strategy that makes it addictive.
All you need is a sjoelbak board and a set of wooden pucks. A full-size board measures about 6.5 feet long and is made from premium timber, buffed to a glossy finish for smooth play. Our boards are crafted from high-quality beechwood or walnut, designed to last for decades. With proper care, a Sjoelbak Australia board can become a family heirloom, handed down from one generation to the next. The pucks are made from traditional Dutch birchwood and feature a slightly concave shape that helps them glide smoothly down the board. The more you play, the better they slide.
While our boards are made from hardy materials, it's important to keep them away from moisture. Any contact with water can warp the wood, so always store your sjoelbak in a cool, dry location. When not in use, the board can be easily propped up vertically against a wall.
