What is Shut the Box?

Players roll dice and flip down numbered tiles that add up to the roll, trying to shut every tile. It is a short push-your-luck game that doubles as addition practice.

How many people can play?

The set is made for 2 to 4 players. Shut the Box also works solo as a quick numbers puzzle.

Is it good for young children?

Shut the Box is easy for early learners because it is just adding dice. The Sequence-style game needs card and pattern reading, so it fits older kids better.

It is a compact wooden table game, so it packs reasonably well. The loose tiles and markers need a bag or box to stay together on the move.

Does it need batteries or setup?

No. It is a plain wooden dice and board game with no electronics; you only lay out the pieces before playing.

Our take on the Classic Original Shut the Box & Sequence Board Game

A wooden tabletop game set that combines Shut the Box, the dice-and-flip-tile numbers game, with a Sequence-style board for 2 to 4 players. It is aimed at family nights, classrooms and travel, and the wooden build gives it a sturdier feel than the plastic and cardboard versions of either game. Shut the Box is a simple push-your-luck game anyone can learn in a minute; Sequence adds a light strategy layer with cards and markers. It suits households that want one compact box covering both a quick luck game and a longer group game.
