I'll be trying to tweak the audio engine again, today, to see if I can do 0.25-second length sounds, and have them play on all the usual browser targets.

Four in-a Row is now in the Misc section, but might be moved into the Board Games section at a later date.

I spent about 3 or 4 hours playing around with KORG Gadget, last night, and managed to create another couple of ALChoons for future Friday postage.

Made a Yahtzee Clone, today.
To keep things as legal as possible, the scoring is marginally different, so be sure to read through the rules to get to grips with the exact sets of dice that you can get points for.

You can play Shoebox of Games here. "Dice Rolls" can be found in the new "Misc" section, where I've shifted Leapfrog to, so be aware of that.
In my head, Misc = "Can be played in reality" whereas Extra = "Probably a little bit too videogamey to count as a proper ShoeBox game!"

As always, if there are any bugs, be sure to let me know.

A few quick tweaks and a change to the "Game Over" parameters, which also required the drawing of a generic trophy icon!!

Accordion is now part of the ShoeBox, overwriting what used to be "Trails".

The game now brings up a little Trophy on the bottom left, if you've got less than 5 piles remaining (+ whatever's left in the draw deck).

The Accordion rules state that any leaps should be "over 2", not "over 1" like I had it with Trails, so in order to make things a little less frustrating, I've also included classic (left and right) Trail as the third game mode for Accordion. That probably won't help newcomers, but will at least my own frustration with the new rule, having gotten used to the old one!

Thanks to otherwise unknown Alan for the tip-off.

You can Play ShoeBox of Games here. Accordion is in the Card Games menu.

Awesome!! Thanks Alan!!
