Description
This beautiful game is crafted from solid hardwood and features 10 wooden number tiles bringing more numerical combinations into play. Can be played with any number of players. Includes eight dice (4-different colors) so each player gets their own dice color. This makes it easier for all players to be rolling at once if you prefer to play the race version of the game. The playing surface is lined with black velveteen felt for the softest of dice rolls. Also features velveteen felt on the underside of the game to prevent scratches to table top surfaces. Originally, the game was played by fishermen off the coast of Normandy more than two hundred years ago. After a long day at sea, they would squander away their earnings by playing this dice game. It is no wonder it is still enjoyed in pubs across North America and Europe. While we don't advocate gambling, we do advocate this beautiful, well-constructed game that will provide hours of fun wherever you go. This game also teaches and reinforces addition skills as players roll the dice, add up the values, and then lay down the tiles that have the sum. These simple rules keep the player engaged in computing addition facts while enjoying socializing with friends. Teachers use this game in classrooms and the game's sturdy construction will make it outlast other versions.

Missing the instructions to play the game

Disappointed - 6 months ago, Verified purchaser
The game came without instructions, despite stating that the instructions would be included in the box. Additionally, this 8.5 inch game was $29.99, however, the 14 inch game is 32.99 on Amazon. This doesn’t feel like a good deal at all.
Fun game

This arrived with one side broken - the wood was broken and the numbers were off the rod. Poorly made and also much smaller than I anticipated. Would not recommend!
Family Fun!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Shut The Box dice Game is a fun game of chances or skill for all ages. There are a few different ways you can play this game depending on the ages and experience of the players. I like this game because it is fast and fun so you can squeeze a few games in before dinner or after. It's made of real high quality wood and all the pieces excluding the dice are attached which is wonderful. No searching for lost pieces!!! # Gotitfree #Bzzagent

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was leery of the Shut the Box game at first. First round was boring until we figured out strategies. This is more of a game of "chance". We thoroughly enjoyed it! I loved that we rolled the dice into the box and didn't have to worry about chasing them like we do when rolling onto the table. The game was all wood and very nicely built. The bottom of the box where we rolled the dice into has a great quality felt lining - easy in the hands while picking up dice after a roll and kept the sound down really well! We will keep a running winners list when we play this weekend. I got bragging rights last weekend! So glad that this was sent to me to try out free! We are looking at some of the other games to try next.
Fantastic game

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Truly a fantastic game for the whole family! You can make this game as difficult or as easy as you want. We played using simple addition. Even our children enjoyed playing! The game moves quickly which works well to keep children interested. As an elementary math teacher, I also have plans to bring this in for student use with different mathematical operations. The board is very well constructed and has an expensive, sophisticated feel to it. No rough edges and well finished with a black velvet interior. I would absolutely recommend this game for families. We plan to use this during holiday gatherings but we often play a few quick games before bedtime. Buy this game! You won't regret it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The game is made really well! Solid wood board looks great and can be used as a decoration itself. Rules are pretty simple but it was a lot of fun to play this game with family! I would definitely recommend for anyone to get this game and most likely I would like to buy other board games of this brand! I've got this game complimentary and I didn't expect that it would be so awesome
We LOVE this game!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So my partner and I have been playing this game obsessively since I received it! Everything about this game is an instant classic; simple, quick game play, a gorgeous playing board, and tons of fun! I cannot rave enough about this game! The game play is deceptively easy, but there is definitely strategy necessary too! Overall, the game is great. The game board is wonderful! The simple wooden design, the number tiles provide a really satisfying "CLACK!" sound when being flipped over. The whole experience is just great family fun! I definitely re commend this game!
So fun!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very impressed with the excellent quality and superior craftsmanship of this game, as well as the packaging and personal note!! The design and color is so beautiful, we rarely put it away… And leave it out on a wooden table, almost like decor! Easy to use and learn, and we are discovering alternative ways like multiplying versus adding. Great family game, or just for two individuals! My 88-year-old mother now lives with us, and we enjoy multiple times each day! Great game for the elderly! Love it!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We recently had a new board game. And we immediately fell in love with it for the high quality and excellent performance. All the parts are very well made and it is really a pleasure to play with quality details. This game can bring a lot of laughter and good emotions to you and your friends.
