Description
Though this game's origin is unknown, variations of it are played worldwide. The wooden board with felt-covered surface contains 4 sides of number keys, making it perfect for 1-4 players. At the start of the game, all 10 numbered tiles are flipped up. The goal is to flip all the number tiles down. To do this, a player must roll two dice. Then total the dice to flip down a single matching number tile, or divide the dice and flip down two separate number tiles. Keep playing until no more tiles can be flipped. Add the total of the remaining tiles; that is your score. The lowest score wins. Travel size version is portable, and measures 8.5" x 8.5" X 1.5". Includes four small pairs of dice in four different colors.
Publisher's Description of Shut The Box - 4 Player Game - Travel Size
This is a smaller version of our very popular four-sided Shut the Box Game. Measuring 8 x 8 inches, it is made of medium stained wood with a felt playing surface. Features 10 wooden number tiles rather than the typical nine numbers of other versions, bringing more numerical combinations into play. Can be played with any number of players, but the 4-sided board makes it ideal for four players. Sure to bring hours of enjoyment and old world charm to your home. Includes eight dice (4-different colors) and instructions in the beautiful WE Games packaging.
Shut-the-Box is a traditional game of counting, addition, and probability that dates back to the 18th century when the game was enjoyed by Norman fishermen after a long day at sea. Today the game is played with family, used in classrooms for teaching addition and probability, and is even a betting game played in pubs all over Europe! 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."
