Shut the Box Game – Dice Strategy & Math Game for 1–4 Players

Roll two dice, add their numbers, and choose tiles that match the total. Cover as many tiles as you can to keep your score low: any tiles left uncovered at the end count as penalty points. This classic dice game combines arithmetic with decisions about which tiles to cover.

Play Solo or with Friends

Designed for 1–4 players, the game works as a solo challenge or a shared activity with players taking turns rolling the dice. The objective stays the same: cover the tiles and finish with as few penalty points as possible.

Adding the dice totals offers practice with basic arithmetic. For a variation, try using different math operations, including subtraction, to change the challenge. The combination of numbers and strategy gives players something to think through on each turn.
