'Shut the Box - Pocket Size'

Bought as a gift. This is a brilliant game and this size is ideal for travellers.

This miniature version of shut the box is the ideal size for my 8 year old daughter and you can close the lid with the dice inside to make it an easy travelling game. Great for mental arithmetic practise for my daughter in a fun format choosing various ways to make up the value of the dice in a strategic way to shut the box. Her best score so far is 4! Great quality.

I purchased this pocket sized game to take on a long car journey to keep my 8 year old amused and to give him an ipad 'square eyes' break whilst on the way to our holiday. The game was really easy to learn, simply roll the dice and work out if you have enough numbers still standing to make the dice number, and not just my son but all the family (even our fussy 19 year old) had a go and enjoyed it. The only reason I gave it a 4 and not a 5 is that the numbers are really fiddly and you need small fingers to flick them down or they all fall down, but that really is being super fussy of me and was only one of those 'for goodness sake' moments every now and again. I'd definitely recommend it, not least because it gives kids a break from electronic visuals but it's also a great way to get maths into a fun little game!

Fun quick game, easily carried around,

This is a great little game. it is excellent value for money and very well made.I bought it for my just 6year old grandson but i have become addicted myself!It is really good for teaching numbers while having fun. I envision many games being played.No hesitation in recommending this little game if you like fast paced number games.

We have played this game sometimes for hours. We’ve played this with both adults and children - and the grandchildren too love playing it very competitively. It’s such a simple game - concept fantastic - a wooden box with numbers and dice but it’s one game that is always reached for first in the cupboard. It’s not only fun to play but teaches plenty of maths skills like addition and number bonds ... and the kids don’t even realise it ! Can’t recommend this game highly enough.

I should have noted the measurements as it was great for tiny fingers. Traditional game in a small travel box

Already have this game in the larger version but it's so easy to play and everyone can join in I decided we needed a version to take on holidays. Highly recommend.
