Shut the Box Game

How to play:

~ A round begins with all the tiles in the up position.

~ A player will roll 2 dices and add them up, and then lower any combination of the equal number of tiles. i.e. if rolling a total of 9, any tiles equal to 9 could be lowered, such as 9; 8&1; 7&2; 6&3; 5&4; 6,2&1 or 4,3&2

~ Player continues to roll as long as he/she has an equal number of tiles to lower.

~ When no more tiles can be lowered, the turn is over, player scores the amount of tiles still left up.

~ The next player begins with all tiles in the up position.

~ If a player lowers all the tiles, he/she wins. It is known as shutting the box, and the player scores no points for that turn.

~ If tile 7, 8, and 9 are all covered, player decides to throw 1 or 2 dice(s).

~ This game can be played by any number of players.

~ Free to decide the winning rule, e.g. First to lower all the tiles or the lowest score after 3 rounds.
