Toys and Games Reviews of Front Porch Classics Shut the Box Bookshelf Game
Customer Review: What a GREAT game !
Summary: 5 Stars
I had always wanted to pick up a copy of this game due to it's simplicity and historical background, and what a winner this version is !!
My 8 year old daughter has been fascinated by the conversations of the game and it's past, and it's become sort of neat to research the history of it as well ! We have been playing it practically non-stop since it came ! You can play alone or with any number of people. There's no set up and no clean up, and it stores and looks impressive on any shelf ! What more could a mom ASK for ?! ;o)
It's brilliantly strategic, and every game is completely different. Learning to decide how to play each roll and which tiles to choose has reinforced simple math skills, AND it teaches reasonable thinking and strategic decision making for my daughter ! I find the box, the wooden dice, and the tiles to be authentically rustic looking and sturdy as well !
The tiniest (and I do mean TINIEST) of an issue is that the felt inside is a bit thin (loud rolling) as I've seen someone else has mentioned. I'm simply going to take that person's good advice and add another thin layer of felt. I would never let that small matter prevent me from buying or recommending this product. It really is just wonderful !!!
Description of Front Porch Classics Shut the Box Bookshelf Game
Shut the Box Bookshelf Game
This English sailors' game of yore is deceptively simple: roll the dice and put down tiles that match your roll. But shutting the box -- putting all of the tiles down -- is harder than it seems. Fun and addictive, you can't play just one game. This Sababa/Front Porch Classic edition of Shut-The-Box boasts a handsome, solid-wood box and handmade wooden dice and tiles. It's for any number of players.
