New into the Shuffle Board Game Library: WAVELENGTH!

Are you on the same wavelength as the rest of your team? In this team vs team party game, you have to give a clue to your companions somewhere within two extreme realms (in this example, dry and wet).

Your team then have to guess by moving the dial to locate the sweet spot, to score the most points! (The answer is hidden by a shield so there is always a dramatic reveal, like a TV Games Show!)

This party game is designed by Wolfgang Warsch, the brilliant brain behind other modern classics such as The Mind, and Quacks of Quedlinburg.

A rainbow full of TCG zip binders! 🌈
(Rather apt in time for Pride Month!)

We've had a big delivery into Shuffle full of VaultX binders! They're top-quality, zip-lock binders in both 9 pocket and 12 pocket sizes, fantastic to hold your Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, or Lorcana cards!

Which colour are you picking?

New into the library this week at Shuffle: dnup!

This is a funky, easy-to-learn new card game, by Kei Kajino (the same designer as Scout, another fun, small-box card game).

dnup is currently trending on The Hotness track on BoardGameGeek, so why not pop into Shuffle and try it for yourself?!

Happy Pride Month! 🥳🌈

Bury St Edmunds Pride 2026 is taking place this Saturday, June 6th, and we’ll be hanging out with other local businesses and creators at the Community Marketplace at The Theatre Royal from 1pm–4pm! 🎭

We’ll be there showing off some of the games we have available to play at the cafe, and inviting everyone to join us the following weekend for a special night of social gaming at Shuffle! 📢

🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 PRIDE SOCIAL 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

🗓️ Saturday, June 13th
🕡 6:30pm - 11:00pm
🎟️ £5 per person

That's right! To keep the local Pride Month celebrations rolling, we'll be setting aside open table gaming space for the whole evening for anyone who wants to play some games, meet new people, and celebrate Pride in a welcoming and inclusive space. ✌️

Not sure what an "open table" is? Well... it's exactly what it sounds like! It's a table that anyone is welcome to take a seat at and join the fun, which means you don’t need to arrive with a group or plan a game in advance. All you have to do is turn up and jump in! As always, our team will be on hand all evening to help get games to tables, explain the rules, and get you playing in no time. 😎

Come and celebrate Pride, community, and inclusivity with us on Saturday, June 13th! There's a seat at the table waiting for you. 🫶

Shuffle had the privilege of being the setting for an incredibly special moment: a wedding proposal!

Huge 🎊 CONGRATS🥂 to Brennan and TJ! We're humbled that TJ asked us permission to plan his special plan here in the cafe... and naturally we were delighted to see Brennan say YES! It was a brilliant occasion for us as staff to witness, so we can only imagine how the happy couple must have felt!

💍 Brennan sent us some of their proposal photos, and a lovely story about how Shuffle has played its part in their stay in the UK. (Swipe to read their tale!)

We wish Brennan and TJ many more happy memories! (I'm not crying; *you're* crying...) 🥰😍

It's hot out there... 🥵 but cool in Shuffle! (Our aircon is blasting and we have a great range of chilled, refrigerated drinks!)

And did you know? We do cold drinks* to go! This is one of our most popular iced coolers, the Dragon Juice! (Dragon fruit and mango)

Other iced coolers on offer also include Guess Brew (peach iced tea) and Kluster Punch (strawberry and basil). Ideal to keep you hydrated as you browse around Bury St Edmunds!

🔥 Sunday was an absolutely HUGE day for Pokémon at Shuffle! 🔥

We had both our League Cup and League Night running on the same day, meaning the café was packed with Trainers all day long 😅

Despite the heat it was an awesome atmosphere throughout and it was great seeing so many people enjoying the game together 💛

20 players turned out for the Cup and the meta spread was VERY interesting...

🎴 Cup Deck Breakdown

👻 7 x Dragapult ex (all variants)
🚀 3 x Team Rocket’s Mewtwo
⚡ 2 x Raging Bolt ex
🕶️ 2 x Team Rocket’s Honchkrow / Porygon
🧠 2 x Alakazam / Dudunsparce
🥊 1 x Mega Lucario
🌊 1 x Mega Starmie
🐰 1 x Mega Lopunny
🌿 1 x Meganium / Arboliva

That means Dragapult made up 35% of the field 😱

🏆 Cup Results

🥇 Bruce - Team Rocket’s Honchkrow / Porygon
🥈 Roy - Team Rocket’s Honchkrow / Porygon
⚔️ Top Cut - Daniell - Dragapult / Dusknoir
⚔️ Top Cut - Jamie - Raging Bolt ex

🌟 Seniors Winner - Olly - Dragapult / Blaziken ex
🌟 Juniors Winner - Eliza - Dragapult ex / Dudunsparce

Huge congrats to all of you! Double Honchkrow / Porygon finals definitely wasn’t what many expected with all those Dragapult decks around 👀

---

⚔️ League Night Results

With many Cup players heading home afterwards, League Night had a very different field and it gave some other decks chance to shine 🌟

🥇 Josh - Mega Greninja ex / Greninja ex
Yes... “Ninja Box” is now officially sticking 😅

🥈 Arthur - N’s Zoroark ex

🥉 Sorcha - Alakazam
Apparently the final outing for the deck before retirement 👀

---

💛 Massive thanks to everyone who attended. It was brilliant seeing returning players from further afield alongside brand new faces joining the Shuffle community for the first time.
