Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
Two dice and nine numbered flaps make up this clever game of skill and fortune. Each player takes it in turn to throw the dice. Each time the dice is thrown the player may close one or more flaps with a total value that matches the combined value of the two dice. For example if a player throws a five and a four, they could close either just the flap marked '9', or both the '5' & '4' or '6' & '3' or '2', '3' and '4' or any other combination. If you cannot close a flap or flaps to the value of the dice, the turn passes to your opponent. The object is to finish your turn, leaving as few flaps open as possible. A small wager often adds fun to the result! Instructions included.

With 6 boys in my house you can imagine how noisy it gets. I bought this for myself but I rarely get the chance to use it as one or the other of my boys has pinched it. In an age where children are all into computer games I was suprised at the way they took to this game. You have numbered tiles 1-9 and the aim of the game is to drop all of them down, by rolling the 2 dice and adding to 2 numbers together..good for their number bonds to 12. you can put down any number of tiles as long as it adds up to the dice total. if you roll the dice and can't put any tiles down then your turn is over. The twist is that you don't add the numbers left to get your score you take them at face value!!! So if you had 24789 left up then you score 24,789. The winner is the one with the lowest score.
Very addictive, once you pick it up you wont want to put it down.
WOULD MAKE EXCELLENT STOCKING FILLER FOR CHILDREN FOM 4 TO 90+

This game is really addictive! I can play it for hours and never get bored. It is very relaxing to play in front of the TV, in bed or when travelling. It helps small children to learn numbers and to add them together. It is more fun as a solitaire game, but can also be played by many.

A very simple game whereby you have to roll the dice and then flip numbers 1-9 to correspond to the total shown on the dice. If you flip all the numbers down, you "shut the box" and you win. Such a simple concept, and yet somehow, once you start, you can't stop. If it's taking you ages to shut the box, you will probably sit there and play continuously until you manage it- I know I did. This is a game that you can play with any number of people- you can even play it by yourself. The game itself is well built and of good quality. This will even sharpen your mental arithmetic skills!

Great for kids
Good educational toy for kids but wouldn't recommend for adults unless you're going to have a little bet when playing otherwise it's a bit on the boring side.
