## Description

desertcart.com: WE Games Shut-the-Box Board Game in Wooden Box with Dice : Toys & Games

Review: Fun for multiplication, too--and beautiful! - Our game is beautiful! Everything is constructed squarely and well, with hinges that work smoothly and a latch that keeps the lid snugly in place when closed. The lining on the dice-throwing area looks great, too, as does the fabric beneath the base that prevents the scratching of fine furniture. And the movement of all the numbered pieces--and the way that all of the edges meet up in both the open and closed positions--is dead on. If treated respectfully, this game should stay beautiful and last for generations; but I can imagine that young children left on their own could damage it easily by forcing the lid past the 90 degree "open" point or by twisting it, so keep that in mind. With the 12 number game, you can play using standard addition rules, or you can allow multiplication of the dice, too! So a 4 and a 5 on the dice could be 9 or could be 20--your choice. That makes it more fun for adults, and it adds to the educational value for kids. And since there are numbers visible in both the up and down positions, it helps in keeping up with your math--plus allows two players to play the long game (where one player tries to get all of their numbers down as the other player tries to get them all up--taking turns until all the numbers are either up or down). This game is attractive enough to keep out full time--which I plan to do. It's a simple and elegant design. But a craftsperson or artist might consider decorating it, too. Even if you buy the game as a crafts project, it's a great value.
Review: Fun for everyone! - This is a great game for everyone. It's easy to play and it's a good math learning tool for children. The box is well made and attractive.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can Lid be remove for playing**
A: No, the lid is not removeable.  It is hinged.  But I'm glad it's this way, so we don't lose the lid!  This game box is sized perfectly for portability, and also looks nice sitting on the shelf.  We take it on vacations, play with the grandkids and friends.

**Q: Are the tiles attached inside the box (on a rod)?**
A: Yes.  They flip on a rod.  It's a good game.  Well made.

**Q: What is the dimensions of the playing field (where you roll the dice)? I want to know if I can fit a pad of Yahtzee score cards in that spot.**
A: Edmond, the inside dimensions of the box where you can store your score cards measures approx. 6 1/2" X 10 1/2".  Hope this answers your question?

**Q: What type of wood is used?**
A: Pine wood was used which was stained black.

This is a great game for everyone. It's easy to play and it's a good math learning tool for children. The box is well made and attractive.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We love this game!
*by M***K on February 20, 2024*

This is a great game for everyone over the age of 5 or 6. It can be played alone or with a group. This is the 3rd one we have ordered. The hardware on the first one broke, so we ordered a new one. The second one was surprisingly much thinner than the first - about half the depth. We liked the original one better because it did a better job of keeping the dice in the box. Then, we ordered one for a friend who was incapacitated with a broken leg and the original size arrived! Although the smaller version would have been easier for her to hold on her lap in her wheelchair, she still liked it. We're going to order a new one for ourselves and hope the original, larger size arrives.
