In reply to my earlier thoughts on "blurred" backgrounds, Alan suggests..
Probably requires opengl wizardry. I need to study up on this a bit myself.
And he's probably right..

Shoebox - Pig
Blog
21st September 2019
A simple dice rolling challenge.
Roll the dice, and then decide if you want to roll again, totting up the scores into the Kitty as you go.
If at any moment you wish to "Bank" what you've earned, play will move to the next player
If you roll a One, you lose everything in the kitty.
It's a simple risk/reward game, but I really enjoyed the game, especially in Party Mode against 3 AL players.
You can Play Pig in the Shoebox under the Group games.

Dice
28th September 2019
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.

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,...

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 200, Upvotes 28

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!!

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...

Can you manage to put your bubbles in order, before AL can?
Take it in turns to move one of the two centre bubbles, and swap it with one of the bubbles in your row.
Try to figure out the best method to get all the bubbles into numerical order.
