How to Play
Basic Instructions:
-
Set Up:
- Place the game board on a flat surface.
- Ensure all the numbered tiles (1-9) are flipped up.
-
Objective:
- The goal is to flip down all the tiles, "shutting the box."
-
Gameplay:
- Players take turns rolling the two dice.
- After rolling, add the dice values together.
- Flip down the tiles that add up to the total rolled. For example, if you roll a 3 and a 4 (total 7), you can flip down tile 7 or any combination of tiles that add up to 7 (e.g., 3 and 4, 5 and 2, 6 and 1).
-
Winning the Game:
- The game ends when a player cannot flip down any more tiles that match the dice roll.
- The player with the fewest tiles remaining flipped up at the end of their turn wins.
Adaptations for Different Age Groups:
For Younger Children (Ages 3-5):
- Use only one dice to simplify the game.
- Allow flipping down only one tile per turn to make it easier to understand and play.
- Focus on counting and number recognition rather than adding numbers.
For Older Children (Ages 6-8):
- Use the standard two-dice rules.
- Introduce simple addition by encouraging them to find different combinations to reach the dice total.
For Advanced Players (Ages 9 and Up):
- Introduce multiplication or subtraction rules for a more challenging game.
- Allow players to roll the dice a second time if they flip down tiles that match the first roll, adding an element of strategy and skill.
