Shuffleboard for the unreasonably rich

Shoot your butler down a rolling yacht. Land on The Edge for 100 points — or watch the Tax Patrol fish him out of the champagne-blue sea.

To the deck

On the deck

See it in motion

No trailer file, no fake play button: a butler sliding the length of the deck, and real shots from the game itself.

100 50 25 10

A sliding shot down the teak. The Edge is 100 — if he stays on board.

Aiming a butler down the yacht deck, with the tilt gauge and the 10, 25, 50 and 100 zones in view. Several butlers already on the scoring zones, mid-round, on the Bay of Monaco. A butler sliding toward the 50 and 100 zones at the stern.

Hold, aim, and watch the swell. Release as the yacht rolls back to even.

How will you play?

Three ways to shuffle

A single phone is enough. Take on the computer, pass it to a friend, or sail the five-stage Voyage.

New-game screen: choose Leon Dusk or Geoffrey Bozas, and the opponent level Intern, Captain or Admiral.

Play vs the computer

Pick Leon Dusk or Geoffrey Bozas, then choose your opponent’s nerve: Intern, Captain or Admiral. The Admiral reads every wave and rarely misses The Edge.

The Intern means well. His butlers end up almost anywhere. The Captain aims well and will happily knock you off the deck.

Intern★ · easy
Captain★★ · normal
Admiral★★★ · hard
The toss: a butler on a silver tray asks heads or tails, on the teak deck of the yacht.

Two players, one phone

Hot-seat on a single device. After the toss — heads is his face, tails is his back — you pass the phone. “No peeking,” says the butler.

In two-player games you can switch on bumpers, so butlers bounce back from the sides instead of going overboard.

The Voyage

Five stages, from a calm Bay of Monaco to the Cayman Storm. Win to sail on. Stars are awarded for winning and for high scores — collect all 15 and your butlers carry a golden tray.

Where he stops, he scores

Four zones, one nerve

Four butlers each, three rounds. A butler left in the dead zone up front is cleared away. Over the stern or off the side is overboard: zero. The last shot of a trailing player can change everything.

0

Dead zone

The front of the deck does not score. A butler who stays here is removed before the points are counted.

10

Tip Jar

A polite ten points. Safe, respectable, and rarely how a billionaire wants to finish.

25

First Class

Twenty-five points, mid-deck. A solid slide — and a tempting target for a rival to knock away.

50

VIP Lounge

Fifty points, close to the stern. The Super Butler, who counts triple, turns this into a serious evening.

100

The Edge

One hundred points, right on the lip. The Admiral almost never misses it. You might.

Only on this yacht

A few things that can happen

The deck is not a quiet parlour game. Champagne spills, the sea gets ideas, and very occasionally a butler hands in his notice.

Super Butler ×3

Super Butler ×3

Each player gets one Super Butler per game, at a random moment — the gold star on the scoreboard. He is heavier, he glides further, and he counts triple.

The Tax Patrol

Go overboard and you may not stay in the water for long. A grey patrol boat with a flashing light comes along and picks the butler up.

“Ah, the taxman. Very good, sir.”

Splash

Champagne puddles

Collisions spill champagne. A butler slides further through a puddle — sometimes into a better zone, sometimes straight over the side.

Monster wave

Monster wave

In round three a rogue wave can wash the deck. The ship rolls harder and the teak gets wet: butlers slide twice as far. You can switch this off in Settings.

Resigned!

Resignation

Very rarely a butler resigns just before the shot, and that turn is lost. “I resign, sir.” Surprises can be switched off if you prefer a quieter evening.

“I resign, sir.”

The swell

The yacht rolls in a steady rhythm. Watch the tilt gauge at the top: release as it swings back to the middle and your butler slides straight, instead of off the side.

The unreasonably rich

Two billionaires, one deck

You play as Leon or Geoffrey. Your butler does the sliding. The yacht is called the Write-Off — of course it is.

You can play as

Rockets & big plans

Or leave him to the computer

Questions for the butler

FAQ

What is Butler Shuffle?

A playful shuffleboard game set on a billionaire’s yacht. You shoot butlers — on silver trays, naturally — down a rolling teak deck, and score where they stop: Tip Jar 10, First Class 25, VIP Lounge 50, The Edge 100.

Can I play it now?

Yes, in the browser, via the Play in the browser button. The App Store and Google Play editions are coming soon; those buttons on this page are not live listings yet.

How do you win a match?

Four butlers each per round, three rounds. Only butlers still on deck at the end of the round count, so you may knock a rival off. If the scores are level, each player takes one shot in the storm, until there is a winner.

What is a Super Butler?

Once per game, at a random moment, you get a heavier butler on a golden tray. He counts triple (×3) and glides further. The gold star on the scoreboard tells you when he is due.

What is The Voyage?

A five-stage campaign against the computer: Bay of Monaco, Portofino Coast, Bay of Biscay, Strait of Gibraltar and the Cayman Storm. Win to unlock the next port. Collect all 15 stars and your butlers carry a golden tray.

Who is the Tax Patrol?

A grey patrol boat that sometimes comes along when a butler has gone overboard, and picks him up. The butler is unfailingly polite about it.

Is it only in English?

No. The game and this site are in English and Dutch. Use the EN / NL switch at the top.
