Shut the Box is a staple at pubs and poker nights for a reason. It’s as fun and addicting as it is easy to learn, and there are all kinds of variations you can try (including a gambling version, if you want to make things a little more interesting). All you need are 2-4 players, the wooden game tray, a couple dice, and preferably some good snacks and drinks. Check out the rules below to start playing!
Things You Should Know
- Players take turns rolling the dice and lowering tiles that correspond with their roll.
- Once a player can't lower any more tiles, their turn is over. The total of the remaining upright tiles is added to their score.
- The player with the lowest score wins the game.
