I used this game to teach my 5 years old son base math.
We played like this:
Each player rolls and can put down sum of dots or the number of dots on one of the dices. Then the bext person rolls. If you cannot put down the sum of dots or the number from a dice you lose your round and pass the dices to next player. The winner is the person who closes the box
You can change the rules and subtract insted of adding dots 😊
He learned how to add and subtract on a basic level.
Excellent 🌟🌟🌟 Thank You!!!
My dad and I played a game called "Shut the Hell Up. It went like this. "Pop, the ice cream truck is outside" And He'd say "Shut The Hell Up"!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
That was perfect. Thank you. Most descriptions I had found for this game called for it to be played for stakes settled after each round rather than over multiple rounds. Your scoring system is simple but elegant.
Thanks for the tutorial!
I bought a small wooden version from the charity shop today by my local charity shop in the U.K. for 75p but after I bought it didn't came with instructions which is so messed up! Glad this tutorial helped me out.
It has been years since I have played Shut the Box, but always loved it. Thanks so much for sharing this video - love the Head to Head version. Could even play that method solo. Cheers!
Thanks for a lovely clear demonstration.
Thanks for the tutorial
Thank you 😊
Thanks, this game is addicting.
You mentioned TWICE, that you have to have two tiles to turn over ("an equal number of tiles to turn over"), yet TWICE you flipped just ONE tile. I've heard s/one from England go over the rules, and you CAN turn over just ONE tile on your turn...you add the two DICE together, and that TOTAL will allow you to turn 1, 2, or 3 or even FOUR tiles over.
However you can get to the total on both dice, that's the tiles you turn over. You can also put a "spin" to the game and use multiplication. So I guess there are no hard, fast rules. As long as folks are havin' fun, & when played with children, it can be a great tool to hone their math skills.
I've played this using multiplication and division too. I think there are plenty of versions of the rules. I agree, kids can improve math skills this way.
Thank you!
Really liked the headsup play, I haven't seen that variation. Thanks!
Great game
thanks!
Thanks very much for a clearer demonstration of the game.
We played this at my buddys birthday party...man it was so funn ive never heard of it. We played for $1 per round with 4 people playing each round. Is it true that you can only put down a maximum of two numbers each roll?
Thanks for this.
Thank you for this informative video! I just ordered this game and received it without any directions.
Thanks so much for this tutorial. I bought a COLORFUL VERSION I can take to Rehab. Facility and play with my mom...whobhas slight dementia. It has 10 numbers.....I guess so small children can play too.
Should I return it? Or just keep it and play the game trying to add up to 10.
Good interesting game
This looks like a lot of fun, I'm going to try this.
I had a game in the UK called Spicer Dice that was exactly the same as this.
This game seems like fun

I found a Shut the box board that’s made of walnut or chestnut I think and has green felt. It’s probably about 1930’s ?? Who would I take it to to find a more accurate info on it?
What company made the game in the video ? Where can i buy that style of the game, it looks higher quality than most others thanks
michelle ralidak You can get good quality boards similar to that one from Masters Traditional Games. They even get sets made in the United Kingdom.
Thanks for explaining how to play!
easiest explanation.
Since the object is to shut the box...lowest score win... If there is 2 & 7 left... You have the score 27. Next person has to get a lower score than 27 or shut the box to win. If 1st person shuts the box...2nd player must shut the box or lose. Atleast, that's how we played it...or we added up the last still standing for a score...again, lowest score wins. ( 2 player).
Are you limited to flip 1 or 2 at a time ? Or you can flip 1,2,3,4 in case you got 4 and 6 on the dice?
There is no limit
@@GatherTogetherGames thank you !
if i roll a 4 and a 2, but my 6, 4, and 2 tiles are flipped down, I can still flip the 5 and 1 tiles if they're still up to equal 6?
Yes, that is allowed
and now a game of high stakes, where every move is a gamble, and every move could be your last. "High Rollers"
Funny, i invented this game as kid when i was like 10years old. I called it schoolbus. But to make it more fun the roller could choose to roll both dice or just 1 dice.
Maybe you remember it from a past life. This game was created in the 12th Century lol
@@christinazito7438 its simple idea people are bound to run to simliar idea's. Think this was just another one of those i gusss. Very funny thing, cuz i had no idea such game existed till this video.. besides me inventing it long ago myself.
1:26 is this right? can you lower the 9 with a 6 and 4, or did I miss something?
I think he cut the clip early, cause he would have lowered the 9 and then the 1.
If I get two of the same number can I just flip that number? I get two 6s, can I put down 6?
I think most rules require you add the two dice for a total of 12. Then in any combination of number equal to 12 that are not flipped is ok. But you must pass if you can’t flip a sum of 12 in this scenario.
What if a player ends his round but can cover numbers but he doesn’t know? Do u need the round or tell the player?
Tell them to go back to school
player two rolls a 6 and 4 equals 10 but pulls down a 9 huh?
I didn't get this either... Thanks for asking, hope we get an answer. I am still confused about the rules
I think player 2 was trying to pull down 9 and 1, summing it gives 10
But with that scoring scheme that means as soon as you get to a score of 44 or less you should just pass.... Something is missing...
Where in the rules did they say you can pass for 0 points?
I think you're missing something...
This was called Blitz. How do you take a game and copy it? Just change the name? That's legal?
It's easy, uno is actually super crazy 8s, Skip Bo is spite and malice, and phase 10 is frustration rummy... there's lots of games like that.

Durf.
TOO fast. He throws the dice and before we can see what the values are, he moves the tiles. Needs to slow down a bit
Touch your settings “gear” icon and choose a lower playback speed
So one of those almost entirely random game.
