Toys and Games Reviews of Shut-The-Box Old Century Edition

Customer Review: Fun for all ages
Summary: 4 Stars

Bought this as a gift for my father. I had played it with friends around a campfire before and thought he would have fun sharing it at parties. It arrived on time and as pictured, very authentic-looking, but I'm not sure that the box is real wood (the outside of the box is very glossy, maybe some sort of resin - but I guess that's better than splinters). The game is fun for all ages and varying levels of sobriety.
I don't know if it would have been as much of a hit if I hadn't played it before and been there to introduce it (passing it around the room makes it more competitive as you wait for your turn -it's more addictive than you would think from the directions).

Description of Shut-The-Box Old Century Edition

After the sails were still and nets had been reeled in and repaired, the Norman sailors and fishermen would pull out their dice and play Shut-The-Box. This game has been brought to the world for all to enjoy. Whether you're playing after a long day on the sea, in your favorite pub or in your own living room, Shut-The-Box will become a favorite amongst your friends and family. Authentic wooden tiles and dice give this its old century charm.

To play, roll the dice and lay down any combination of tiles that match your roll. Keep rolling until you can't match your roll on the remaining tiles. Lowest score wins. Lay down all the tiles and you've "shut the box." Awarded Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Platinum Seal "Best Toy." For any number of players.
