Let's have a look and see what @RSKGames thought of Space Battle!

An epic battle begins. Blast away your opponent's spaceships, before they do, yours!
Place your ships in the grid, then try to guess where your opponent's ships are placed.

Swapping Allowed
Blog
22nd June 2019
As per @RSKGames' suggestion, I've added a couple of Swap mechanics to Tower solitaire.
You can swap any free cards in the tower, but only when they're on the same row.
You can also swap the topmost card amongst the dealt piles, too.
There's not a LOT of things you can swap, but hopefully it should be enough to make things a little bit easier in the 5 and 6 tower modes.
You can Play Tower Solitaire in the Card Games section of the Shoebox.

You can Play Tower Solitaire in the Shoebox, under the Card Games.
@RSKGames says..For regular Solitaire players this version might need some time to get used to as the card that is required to build the tower is not one less or one more of the cards in stack but follows a simple rule. Yeah, it's a slightly different strategy, but it makes things a lot tougher when you end up with a v...Views 109, Upvotes 21

A new Solitaire card game, today. The aim is to try to reach the top of the tower by matching cards.

Tower Solitaire
Game
21st June 2019
Try to build up the pyramid by placing cards which match both of the cards below, by suit or value.
You can swap free cards on the same level, or replace them entirely with dealt cards of the same suit or value, but only if the card has no card above it. You win if you can reach the very top. Views 195, Upvotes 43

Name That Solitaire

20th June 2019
I woke up with a Solitaire game in my head.. As you do!
Figured I'd code it, and see how it turned out, and .. Yeah, it's quite playable!
Currently near-impossible, but I think having a "Swap Pile" should help that quite a bit.
Basic rules. You can place Same Suit/Value card atop each other in the pyramid. If a card matches the Suit/Value of both of the two adjacent cards, you may place the card in the row above.
(eg, if you have a 2 of hearts in your hand, and the two cards below are a ...

After each release, or thereabouts because it's getting hard for even me to keep up, we get a little bit of feedback for the games.
If you'd like to join in, you can either use the Comments section, Email me, or send a Tweet.
You can Play Atoms in the ShoeBox. It's in the "Group Games" section.
@RSKGames says..Played 3 times and lost the first time and won the second and third time. First time I lost after my very first move. LOL! Poor @RSKGames!Views 124, Upvotes 20

Atoms
Game
15th June 2019
Try to conquer the entire board with just your own colour, by overflowing and detonating your atoms.
Each square can hold a single atom in the corners, two on the sides, or three in the middle. If a square overfills, it explodes into adjacent squares, filling them with your own colour. Views 161, Upvotes 22

Atoms?
Blog
13th June 2019
I was flicking through my Shoebox Todo-List, today, and stumbled upon Atoms.
I haven't attempted Atoms for a while, mostly because it requires me to draw all those Atoms!!
But, today I drew them, and the engine seems fairly capable.
(ignore the fact that half those positions aren't "real", it's just a crazy animating thing, right now!)

Tap the letters, fill in the blanks, and try to guess the words or phrase.

Today's Plan
Blog
1st June 2019
1. Finish off Flappadiddle on PetitSwitch
2. Finish off Hangman on Shoebox
3. Consider that combining things into one has gone so well on Shoebox that it might be a good idea to start doing that with my PetitSwitch games.
4. Consider that I should probably also do that with AGameAWeek "proper"
5. Wonder how that's going to impact my lovely "500,000 games" list.
6. Goto 3

We all know what happens if I leave a game for a week..
I find it very hard to get myself back into the swing of things.
I need something a little more immediate to pop into the Shoebox, because.. at this rate.. it'll be mid July before The Quest is ready!!
"Oh, I know," says my silly head, "what about Hangman?"

The Quest
20th May 2019
Heavy decade-old Sprite Reuse, ahoy!
Those doors look dumb.. I really need to rethink how I'm going to draw the doors.
Hmmm.
However, it doesn't look "awful", and I think that's ok!
I'll probably spend the next few days trying to get "just" the right style for the doors. Big enough that it looks like a nice big door, but small enough that it doesn't overlap the players when they're on the square "behind" the door.
Tricky to get these things just right, and I might yet wimp...
