The POOF-Slinky 36600 Ideal Shut the Box Tabletop Game combines rolling dice with simple math for fun and educational game play. Each player throws the dice into the box section of the game until they can no longer cover any numbers. Their turn is then complete and they add up the total of the uncovered numbers for that player’s score. It is then the next players turn to try to beat their opponent’s score. Whoever has the lowest score at the end wins. Different versions of this game can be played that uses addition, subtraction, division and multiplication to cover numbers or the total of the dice number in all combinations (Ex. If dice roll yields a 5 and 4, the following numbers (or combination of numbers) can be covered 9, 8-1, 7-2, 6-3, etc). Ideal’s Shut the Box Tabletop Game is made of wood with a dark stained finish.
