📋 How to Play

Playing Shut The Box is straightforward — here's how a round works:

  1. Roll both dice and add the two numbers together.
  2. Slide down any combination of tiles that equals that sum.
  3. Keep rolling and sliding until no valid moves remain.
  4. Any tiles left open at the end count as your penalty score.
  5. The player with the lowest penalty score wins — or aim to reach zero and truly shut the box!

For added challenge, try using subtraction, multiplication, or division instead of addition.
