Toys and Games Reviews of Double Shutter Tin

Customer Review: Math can indeed be fun
Summary: 5 Stars

Double Shutter is a math-oriented game, where the player rolls the dice and then turns over 2 rows of "keys" where the numbers turned down (or shut) must equal the sum of the dice. It is a simple math-oriented concept that doesn't feel "boring". The game ends when the player cannot make the sum of the keys equal the dice - or the player turns over all the keys. If multiple people are playing, the one with the lowest total on the remaining keys wins. If it is a solo game, winning is technically when all the keys are turned over.

We first received this toy as a gift for my son (age 6.5 and very good at math) from my brother, who had a friend recommend it since it was "Toy of the Year." I have since given it twice to my son's friends who are celebrating their 7th birthdays. My brother enjoyed it so much that he bought one for himself to keep at his office for stress relief.

Things I like about it:
Can be played alone or with multiple people.
Great for reinforcing that 1+7 = 6+2 = 5+2+1, etc.
Fast games.
Adults love it perhaps even more than kids.
Easy for kids and parents to play together.
Comes in a good case for easy storage.

Things I don't like:
It's addictive!!!

Description of Double Shutter Tin

The game will always stay open with its challenging game play and attractive wooden design. Roll two dice, add the dots and find the best combination of numbers to shut two rows of nine tiles. Don't touch a tile on the second row unless you have already shut the tile in front of it. Very few can shut all the tiles and close the super box. Even less can stop playing this addicting game, so always remember to play in moderation. Blue Orange plants two trees for every tree used to produce their games.
