Shut the Box is a classic pub game where players roll a pair of dice and lower tiles on the game tray that correspond with the numbers they roll. The goal of the game is to lower as many tiles as possible on a single turn before running out of options.
On a player’s turn, they throw the dice into the game tray and add up the total of their roll. They then lower 1 or more tiles that equal the total they rolled. For example, if a player rolled a 4 and a 3, their total is 7. Therefore, they could choose to lower one of the following tile combinations: 7, 4 & 3, 5 & 2, 6 & 1 or 4 2 & 1
After lowering the tile(s), the player continues to roll the dice and lower tiles until they reach the point where no tiles correspond with the total they roll. For example, if the total of a player’s roll is 6 and only the 7 and 2 tiles remain upright, they’re unable to lower any tiles and their turn is over.
When there are no more tiles left, you win the game and shut the box. If you cannot make any more moves, click the "I Give Up" box and try again. Play with friends to see who can get the lowest score or shut the box!
