📋 How to Play
Playing Shut The Box is straightforward — here's how a round works:
- Roll both dice and add the two numbers together.
- Slide down any combination of tiles that equals that sum.
- Keep rolling and sliding until no valid moves remain.
- Any tiles left open at the end count as your penalty score.
- 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.
