Normally, the goal of Dutch Shuffleboard (Sjoelbak/Sjoelen) is to throw discs through small slots with a score of 1-4. This version is a play on some of the current social and economic issues in the Netherlands. Not to be taken too seriously…

Koopwoning = owner-occupied house (hole is too small)
Huurwoning = rental property (hole is difficult to hit, game of chance)
Stikstofbeleid = nitrogen policy (hole is blocked by a tractor, ‘boerenprotest’)
Politiek vertrouwen = political trust (hole is blocked by glass)

Made in Blender. Rendered in Cycles. Post in Photoshop.

Very nice modelling and lighting, and interesting storytelling. The frustration is palpable.

Thanks. It’s at least a fun way to deal with the frustration.

Great image! Makes me want to drag our old shuffleboard from the basement :slight_smile: (I’m Belgian) we should have a shuffleboard at Blender conference!

Thanks! I’ll probably have no excuse not to go if there’s a sjoelbak at the conference.
