SHUT THE BOX GAME

Roll the dice and try to eliminate all the numbers.
Easy, fun game for the whole family and highly educational for the younger ones!
This fast paced game appeals to a wide variety of folks in the home, schools, bars, nursing homes, waiting rooms, and more.
The origin is not known, but there exist references from at least the 19th century to Normandy (northern France) or the Channel Islands. Others also mention fur trappers from the Hudson's Bay Company.
Historically, this was a gambling and drinking game played by seafarers on the old sailing ships. It still is one of the most popular bar/pub games in the world, but has become a great family and school game also.
This model has numbers 1 thru 12.
For you teachers and Homeschoolers, this 1-12 version offers more opportunity for math challenges. You can use multiplication on this. For example, if you roll and 4 and a 5, you can call it either 9 (addition) or 20 (multiplication). Now the child must find numbers to add to 20 if they chose multiplication. More of a challenge.... For you gamblers, this set also offers the opportunity for higher scores... This particular model focuses on quality with a premium feature of the numbers being burned into the wood, thus are easily cleaned and will easily last the life of the game. This model also has slightly thicker wood in all areas as compared to the version below. The die are handmade and especially nice in this model.
