Shut the Box, also known as "Tric-Trac, "Canoga", or "Batten Down The Hatches" is a dice game of for one or more players, usually played by two, three, or four players. Historically, Shut the Box was often played as a gambling game in olde world pubs, where each player put an equal amount into the pot (or pool) and the winner took all. However, gambling isn't necessary to enjoy the game, and indeed, Shut the Box is a popular game for teaching children their numbers. The game uses a box with hinged tiles numbered 1 to 9 (or sometimes 1-10 or 1-12). The box is used as both game board and scoring device, and also serves as a container for easy and convenient storage. Each player rolls the dice and lays down any combinations of tiles that match the roll. For example, If you roll a 7 flip up the 7 tile, or the 5 and the 2, or the 4, 2, and 1 tiles. If every tile higher than 6 is covered, the player has the choice of rolling one or both dice. The player keeps rolling until they can’t match their roll on the remaining tiles. The total of the tiles left open are ten totaled, the score is recorded, and all the tiles are flipped up, and the turn passes to the next player. After each player has played, the game is over, and the low score wins. If you can lay down all the tiles, you’ve "Shut the Box". A game may consist of one round, or many. Typically, the game proceeds thru several rounds, until a player's accumulated score surpasses an arbitrary number, such as 50 or 100.
