Shoebox - Handlink
Blog
12th January 2020
Light up five of the handlink's buttons so that all the surrounding values become zeroes.
Each value states how many squares in its row/column should be lit up, and will change along with your pushes, so a bit of analysis should allow you to solve the puzzle well enough.
You can Play Handlink in the Shoebox, under the Misc Games section.

Cache Update
Blog
10th January 2020
The Shoebox is now using the "Server Worker" method of caching, instead of the older AppCache style.
With any luck, you shouldn't be able to tell the difference, and everything will continue to work swimmingly.
I'm not sure what the exact rule for cache-update-checks is, especially if you're playing with an "Add to Home Screen" kind of bookmark, but it appears to be doing a decent job of keeping up to date.
Please do give it a try, and let me know how you get on with the update, reporting...

Last week, Tobobobo picked out this game as a possible Shoebox addition, and .. I think it's probably something that could work.
I think that'll be this week's Shoebox title. It seems simple enough, but deceptively so. A nice unusual game, fit for the box.
If you've any games you'd like to see me tackle, be it Foldapuz, Shoebox or Browsercade, feel free to suggest it, and I'll see if I can work it into play.
.. Unless it spirals into complex depths that become unmanageabl...

26th October 2019
Place all 40 cards (Ace to 10, all four suits) within the grid.
Create "Jimps", matches between adjacent cards, to score points. Multiple Jimps score bonus points, and you can rack up combos by placing more multiples after each other.
You can Play Jimper in the Shoebox, under Misc.
I was tempted to add it to the Card Games section, but felt it was more Puzzle than Card, so it went into the Misc like Cardagain is..
Feel free to argue if you think that's wrong!!

Move all the cards onto the four foundation piles.
Cards can be placed atop one-higher cards, as long as they aren't of the same suit. (9 of Diamonds can be placed onto 10 of Hearts, Clubs or Spades, but NOT 10 of Diamonds) The foundations should be built up in the usual manner, from Ace to King in the same suit. Views 162, Upvotes 15

Solitaire
19th October 2019
A simple enough solitaire game.
13 piles are placed onto the table, with any Kings being pushed to the bottom of the pile.
You can shuffle the cards around the table, one at a time, placing a card onto a card one-higher, as long as it is NOT of the same suit.
eg, you can place a Nine of Diamonds on top of a Ten of Hearts, Clubs or Spades, but NOT onto a Ten of Diamonds.
The four foundation piles work as standard, and must be increased from Ace to King in the same suit.
Your task,...

Gather up the card into the Foundation spaces, in the usual Ace to King manner.
The challenge here is that each of the "table" piles can only hold 3 cards.
Move them around to reach the required cards for the Foundations, by shifting the topmost card onto an allowable space.
Cards can be placed atop another card either one value above or below, of any suit.
You can Play Shamrock Solitaire in the Card Games section of the Shoebox, in your Browser, on Desktop, Mobile or Tablet.
