Shut the Box

How to Play Shut the Box

1. Lay out tiles numbered 1 through 9 or 1 through 12.
2. Roll two dice and choose any combination of open tiles that sum to the roll.
3. Close those tiles and roll again.
4. If you cannot make a legal move, your turn ends and your score is the sum of the remaining open tiles.

Try to shut all the tiles for a perfect game or beat the lowest score.
