It can be played by one or many at one time! Best of all, it can be played by the blind and sighted at the same time! The tiles have been adapted with brailled so they can be read when "Open" or "Shut". The 2 Braille dice that are included allow everyone playing to "see" what number is rolled! The lined hardwood Shut The Box game also has rubber feet to provide a sturdy base and to protect tabletops.
How to play this fun and challenging game!
Play yourself or play others...there is no limit to how many can play!
Playing Shut The Box
Roll the dice.
The number that is rolled is "Shut" by closing the numbered tiles that equal the number rolled.
For Example, if a 9 is rolled...
To "Shut" the 9, tiles 2, 3, and 4 could be shut,
or tiles 3 and 6 could be "shut", or even just the 9 tile could be "Shut".
The players turn continues After the number rolled has been "Shut", the player rols again and attempts to "Shut" the number rolled.
The players turn continues until a number rolled cannot be "Shut".
For example if a3 is rolled and tiles 1, 2, and 3 have already been "Shut", the 3 rolled cannot be closed.
Your round is over when this happens.
There are a couple of ways to calculate the player's score after their round has ended.
Add up the tiles that were not "Shut".
For example, if tiles 1, 4, and 5 are not "Shut" the player's score would be 10.
Likewise, if tiles 2 and 6 were not shut, the players score would be 8.
Another way it can be scored is by reading the tiles that have not been "Shut" as a complete number.
For example if tiles 1, 4, and 5 have not been "Shut", the score would be 145.
Likewise, if tiles 2 and 6 were not shut, the players score would be 26.
If a player successfully "Shuts The Box", that is, the player closes all the tiles, the player wins the game if playing one round.
If playing more than one round, the player's score is 0 for the round and the game continues until all the rounds have been completed.
In a pub setting, the player with the highest score buys the other players a round of drinks.
Others have each player pitch in an ante and the player with the lowest score is the winner of the pot.
