Shut the Box (deluxe)

$27.00

This wooden dice board game 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. It has also been suggested that it was an Irish Tavern Game. It has even been suggested that Napoleonn liked to play this game! 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! There are at least 5 sets of rules! Just keep on rolling until you can no longer match your roll on the remaining tiles. The lowest score wins the game. This classic version is made of natural wood with a felt playing surface. It features 12 wooden number tiles rather than the typical nine numbers of other versions, bringing more numerical combinations into play.

This box is larger than our standard 12 tile box and is beautufully crafted of maple with a luxourious felt tray.
