| | | Description: | | Shut-the-Box is a traditional game of counting, addition, and probability. Dating back to the 18th century, this game was enjoyed by Norman fishermen after a long day at sea. Roll the dice and lay down any numerical combination of tiles that match your roll. Just keep on rolling until you can no longer match your roll on the remaining tiles. The lowest score wins the game. If you lay down all the tiles, then you've "shut the box." This improved wood version with a felt playing surface has 12 numbers, rather than the typical 9 numbers of other versions, bringing more numerical combinations into play. Can be played with any number of players. It is sure to bring the old century charm to your home! | | | Features: | |

 Addictive Fun for AllFeb 07, 2010
By Playful Mom

I decided to purchase this for two reasons. I remember playing this as a kid and having so much fun with it. I also bought it as one of the family games to take to a relative's house over the holidays. It was an instant hit! Those that remembered playing it before were excited to play again and those that had never played were instantly addicted. It's perfect for solo play when you just have a few minutes, or to pass around the table at large gatherings. The box on this model is very sturdy, yet it's still small enough to easily take along in the car. I much prefer the 1 through 12 model to the ones with only 9 or 10 numbers. Great price, durable, easy to learn. I'm very satisfied with this purchase.

This is such a nice looking game, I leave it out on the coffee table all the time. When grandchildren come over, they gravitate to the game and we have a good time. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this particular game to anyone.

I had a small issue with one of the boxes. I emailed the seller and the customer service I received was out of this world. They sent me a brand new box, no questions. These sellers really care about their buyers. So many times we encounter poor customer service. Not here. Love the box, my kids (5) and (4) are learning math and having fun. The adults love to play it too. Buy it, you will not be disappointed.
