Shut the Box

Nine tiles, two dice. Flip them down before the numbers run out.

1 to 12 players · Dice · Quick · About 2 to 4 min · Tapping · Great against computer players

How to play

  1. Everyone gets the same box: tiles one to nine, all standing. Roll two dice and flip down any tiles that add up to the total.
  2. Keep rolling and flipping. Once the 7, 8 and 9 are down you may roll a single die instead.
  3. Stuck with no tiles that fit? Your turn is over and every tile left standing counts against you.
  4. Flip the lot and you've shut the box for a bonus. Fewest leftovers score best, and the best total after the last box wins.
