Product DetailsAlso known as Canoga or "Batten down the Hatches", this is the old gambling game for as many players as you like. Each player throws the dice and chooses to shut either the numbers thrown or sum of the numbers thrown. Each player tries to close all the numbers, thus "shut the box"!
The History of Shut the Box is unknown but records of the game can be traced back to 19th Century France. The game did not appear in England, however, until the mid 20th Century. Jaques were one of the first companies to market Shut the Box in the UK. The game itself is a dice game for one or more players. The object of the game is to cover all the numbers, or 'shut the box', according to throws of the dice. The Jaques' version of the game features a baize-lined, polished hardwood frame and includes dice and full Shut the Box game rules. This game is an excellent way to teach numbers and mathematics.
Dimensions: 30cm x 22cm x 3cm (12" x 8" x 1").
