Toys and Games Reviews of Double-Sided Shut the Box Game-12
Customer Review: poor cheap import quality
Summary: 3 Stars
In my opinion this should have had no more than a $12 price tag. For $25? crappy quality/construction. The game itself is a fairly entertaining diversion to kill a few minutes - till you are left with the 12s and it's a stand-off till you/opponent actually roll a double 6. If I had a bar or game room I'd invest more in, or build a nice version of this game (Lowes had plans for a really nice single player one in their build it magazine/advertisement which comes semi-monthly in the mail). There was no way to make the game for under $25 (then add man hours to that). That said, I wish Melissa & Doug would make one of these, then you could hang it on the wall and it'd at least look like a classic game not a cheap imported p.o.s.Customer Review: math without trying
Summary: 5 Stars
"shut the box," or "tric-trac" to some (not to be confused with the French board game), is a fun quick play for kids and adults. For kids, it combines adding the pips on dice with combinations on the tiles. For adults, it's part strategy, part luck, and potential drinking game.
Other versions have one board and go to 9. This version has two boards back to back and 1-12 numbered tiles. This allows you to play alone, with an opponent, or just play the 1-9 "game." It's well built and should last a long time.
Customer Review: Love this game - great for kids
Summary: 5 Stars
Love this game! I got it for my 1st & 2nd graders who are working on moving past doing addition by counting on their fingers -- they need to get faster on memorizing simple addition facts, and this provides a fun way to practice without them thinking of it as a math drill. I love the double-sided game, since I can play with them, and they love the extra quality time with parents or grandparents. My only wish is that the game had either a lid or a way to store the dice without them falling out.Customer Review: Love the game, the product not so great111
Summary: 3 Stars
I have played this game many times on "homemade" single sided versions, and always found it fun. I was happy to find a double sided version.
However, very disappointed when it arrived and it was in several pieces. The middle piece with the numbers was NOT attached to the box. We have to fix it ourselves.
So, great game, but shotty product, in my opinion.
Customer Review: Double-Sided more fun than single
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this for my sister. I had never played Double-Sided before, and it is much more fun than single. Of course, you can still use it as a single if you are doing a solitaire. The product itself is not really plush, but is just fine for the price. No lid, so your can't close it up for storage. But a nice toy at a fair price. Shipped fast.
