This 5.5" wide and 3.5" deep travel sized, mini Shut the Box Game is a fast moving wooden dice 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. 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! Roll the dice and lay down any numerical combination of tiles that match your roll. 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 solid natural wood with a felt playing surface. It features 9 wooden number tiles.
