About this deal

Shut the Box is a classic pub game with a history stretching back centuries. Traditionally, a counting box is used with tiles numbered 1 to 9, each of which can be covered with a hinged or sliding mechanism. Originating from traditional pub games in Europe, it offers a blend of luck and strategy, making it a favourite for family gatherings, casual get-togethers, and competitive game nights. Players roll dice and use the numbers to shut corresponding numbered tiles, with the goal of shutting as many as possible. It can be played by any number of players, although it is most enjoyable with two, three, or four, and some people even play solo as a pastime. The educational appeal comes naturally, as players must constantly add numbers and think about combinations, making it a great choice for children developing basic maths skills as well as adults looking for a simple but engaging game.
