Description

This gorgeous Shut the Box game is finely crafted in the USA of solid maple wood with great attention paid to quality and durability. Made from American hardwood lumber that is certified eco friendly by the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI). A medium finish is applied over the natural wood for an ultra-smooth surface and billiard felt lines the playing surface for softer dice rolls.

This American made version features 12 number tiles rather than the typical 9 numbers of other versions, bringing more numerical combinations into play. Roll the dice and lay down any numerical combination of tiles that match your roll. Just keep on rolling until you can no longer match your roll on the remaining tiles. The lowest score wins the game. If you lay down all the tiles, then you’ve Shut the Box.
