How to Play

Basic Instructions:

  1. Set Up:

    • Place the game board on a flat surface.
    • Ensure all the numbered tiles (1-9) are flipped up.
  2. Objective:

    • The goal is to flip down all the tiles, "shutting the box."
  3. Gameplay:

    • Players take turns rolling the two dice.
    • After rolling, add the dice values together.
    • Flip down the tiles that add up to the total rolled. For example, if you roll a 3 and a 4 (total 7), you can flip down tile 7 or any combination of tiles that add up to 7 (e.g., 3 and 4, 5 and 2, 6 and 1).
  4. Winning the Game:

    • The game ends when a player cannot flip down any more tiles that match the dice roll.
    • The player with the fewest tiles remaining flipped up at the end of their turn wins.

Adaptations for Different Age Groups:

For Younger Children (Ages 3-5):

  • Use only one dice to simplify the game.
  • Allow flipping down only one tile per turn to make it easier to understand and play.
  • Focus on counting and number recognition rather than adding numbers.

For Older Children (Ages 6-8):

  • Use the standard two-dice rules.
  • Introduce simple addition by encouraging them to find different combinations to reach the dice total.

For Advanced Players (Ages 9 and Up):

  • Introduce multiplication or subtraction rules for a more challenging game.
  • Allow players to roll the dice a second time if they flip down tiles that match the first roll, adding an element of strategy and skill.
