En bref · fiche BoardGameGeek traduite

Shuffledot est un jeu de stratégie abstrait au format de poche, à mi-chemin entre le domino et le go, simple à prendre en main mais auquel on peut jouer encore et encore. Les joueurs posent des tuiles en essayant de créer la plus longue ligne de leur couleur, tout en déstabilisant leur adversaire en brisant sa ligne à l'aide de glissements. Un jeu comprend 10 tuiles. Chaque tuile représente une ligne de 4x1 composée d’anneaux et de points (hhhh, dddd, hdhd, hhdd… etc.). Pour une partie de 15 minutes, utilisez 2 jeux (20 tuiles). Disposez les tuiles face cachée (la chance joue un rôle plus important) ou face visible (stratégie pure), puis, à tour de rôle, piochez et posez une tuile du paquet. Le premier joueur à piocher une tuile comportant au moins 3 éléments identiques (par exemple, trois cercles) jouera cet élément jusqu’à la fin de la partie en essayant de former la plus longue ligne de points/cercles reliés. Les tuiles peuvent être placées dans n’importe quelle position, verticalement ou horizontalement, mais toutes les tuiles sur la table doivent être reliées entre elles. Après la première tuile, aucune des tuiles suivantes ne peut « flotter » sans être reliée. Après leur premier tour, les joueurs peuvent choisir de « faire glisser » une tuile au lieu d’en piocher une nouvelle. Il suffit de faire glisser une tuile le long de son côté le plus long vers une nouvelle position valide et de placer un pion sur la tuile pour indiquer qu’elle ne peut plus être déplacée. Les joueurs ne disposent que de deux glissements maximum chacun par partie. La partie se termine lorsque toutes les tuiles ont été jouées, que tous les glissements aient été utilisés ou non. Le joueur qui possède la ligne la plus longue remporte la partie. REMARQUE : comptez tous les points adjacents (et non en diagonale) sur une même ligne d’un bout à l’autre, mais ne comptez pas les points contigus qui ne font pas partie de cette ligne. En cas d’égalité, si vous souhaitez départager les joueurs, accordez un déplacement supplémentaire à chacun jusqu’à ce qu’il y ait un gagnant. —description du concepteur

Présentation de la campagne

Shuffledot: Find your path and confound your opponent in this beautifully simple game of dots.

A tactical game where a single tile can change everything.

Simple to start. Fiendishly hard to master.

If you love quick-fire games like backgammon or dominoes — where luck meets tactics — Shuffledot will get under your skin.

Players take turns to pick a tile with the aim of making the longest line. It's that simple, but you can't get complacent, because if the opportunity arises you can slide a tile that's already been placed and change the whole shape of the game.

Playing blind with tiles face down, gives luck a greater role, but if you want to get more strategic, play with a hand of tiles or play face-up. There are other variations too: This simple tiles set opens a world of possibilities.

Shuffledot is a pocket game designed to be played anywhere you find a flat surface to lay out the tiles. The box will will fit in your jacket pocket, ideal for a quick game in a cafe or if you're on a break at work.

There are 20 Shuffledot tiles, some slide tokens, a bag for the tiles and book of rules to get you started.

There are also game variations to spice things up with alternative options and inspire you to develop your Shuffledot skills.

The game has been around our family and friends for quite a few years now. The first versions of it being cut our from cardboard and coloured in by hand during the pandemic.

Since then, it's gradually grown into a full-blown project, with an online playable version and a fully tested prototype produced by our manufacturers ready to ship.
