Thanks for the instructions. I saw a TikTok with people playing and ordered one for Christmas. Unfortunately, it didn't come with directions, so it's great to have this instructional give the full details.
We played a variation of this in elementary where we could add, subtract, multiply, or divide to get the needed number. This is a great math game for young kids.
Thanks for the share, I also play with the added rule, if someone throws a double and then get throw again, then on that next throw they can also use subtraction, division and division on the numbers on that following role to make the required numbers
Neighbors threw out a 2 player box and my bf and I were really interested. It's black and blue and has a mystic vibe. Super cool and comprehensive video on the rules- tried reading a few articles but it wasn't clicking. This was nice, sweet, simple, and super easy to follow
historically i am not sure, however, you could placie a small, static wager per player, such as $2 each. The winner takes all. In case of a tie, the pot is split. Advanced players may wish to accept variable bets, based on the difference in total scores. You could do this as quarter per point, where a loss of 14 to 6 would cost the loser $2. This is simple enough in a 2-player game. similiar to how people bet on cribbage.
If there are multiple players what happens if more than one player is able to shut the box. Is it a draw or do these players do another round until there is a winner ?
thanks for watching and good question. I had to do some digging on that and from what i have read a tie in this manner is not possible, as once one player shuts the box, they are automatically the winner of that round. So a player who is later would not have the opportunity to do the same in that game.
hey thanks for watching..... The overriding goal is to completely cover all numbers or "shut the box" which results in the best possible score of zero. so in flipping down all of the numbers you are SHUTTING THE BOX.

Small channel but very pro videos! I wish you all the best and want to see this channel grow. Thank you for the vids
Thanks so much for the kind words. I have been at it for just over a year and hoping to see even more growth in year two.

Glad it was helpful! and thanks for watching.
Nice work my friend
Thanks for the easy explanation
Glad it was helpful! thanks for watching.
I have never seen the choice of roll 1 dice rule in my life.
What never ever in your whole life?
If your down to a 2 and 4 and you roll a 4, can you pass or do you have to play the 4? Thus waiting to roll a 6.
How do you do 4+4?
Thx bro
Hey man good video.
But the tone in which you're saying SHUT THE BOX sounds offensive 😂😂
haha.....thanks for watching. :-)
Offended by his tone? Give me a break - grow up
The TOTAL of the slabs has to be six or less to roll one dice.
Hello, can i use your video to explain my customers? it has to be uploaded on website, Please advice
of course. thank you!
How did they play for wages interested in knowing

Shut the front door!
What happens if you throw a 12
Perhaps close 9-3 8-4 or 10-2?
I got 10 shut the box. So what will happen if my dices roll 11 or 12? Will I flip 10 and 1 for 11 or what?
This is my question. I was looking for one that had 12 bit more expensive
Yes. If you have flaps that total that number.
If there are multiple players what happens if more than one player is able to shut the box. Is it a draw or do these players do another round until there is a winner ?

@@JMNCGames wait but wouldn’t that give a player a leg up based on the order they were playing. 🥴
@@sunsetnwaves 🌚
It's impossible to have 2 players shut the box, if you shut the box you win. You rotate the player one position in scoreboard order.
@@sunsetnwaves, it's the same in any other game...cards, Sorry, etc. Since each person gets a turn, whoever finishes the game first is the winner.
Definitely not how we played it in college. I (kinda sorta) remember there being drinking involved. A lot of drinking involved.
How is the score 15 and not 159?
1+5+9=15
Your games different. I have one that goes up to 12.
You didn’t explain what shut the box means
hey thanks for watching..... The overriding goal is to completely cover all numbers or "shut the box" which results in the best possible score of zero. so in flipping down all of the numbers you are SHUTTING THE BOX.
The single version is in a box with a lid, so when you win...you shut the box.
Honestly this looks kinda lame.
@@robertclark4929 it's an old game.
