Shut the Box Dice
Roll the dice and flip tiles that add up to your roll. Beat six computer players, chase solo high-score runs, use Lucky Rerolls, and plan the shared daily dice sequence.
Shut the Box Dice is the classic tabletop dice game of nine wooden tiles numbered one to nine. You roll two dice, then flip down any tiles whose numbers add up to the total. Keep rolling and shutting until no combination fits the roll, and the tiles still standing count against you. Shut every tile and you have shut the box, the perfect result.
Each turn is a small risk puzzle. Closing the big tiles first leaves fewer ways to make high rolls, while keeping both sides of a number open gives you more options, and when tiles seven to nine are down you may roll a single die instead. You can play against a table ladder of six computer opponents, from Dot who picks tiles at random to Oracle who plays the exact odds on a hard twelve-tile box, in best-of-three rounds. A solo run of five rounds scores points for every tile you close, with a bonus for each shut box, and saves your best. Earn coins to buy Lucky Reroll upgrades that let you re-throw the dice, plus new wood and dice finishes. A Coach hint shows a strong choice for a few coins.
It suits anyone who likes dice games, quick luck and strategy rounds, or a calm score chase. Every day brings a fixed roll sequence the same for everyone, so you can plan the order of tiles like a puzzle. Tip: keep low tiles for later, they are the easiest to close.
How to play
Tap Roll, then tap tiles that add up exactly to the dice total. The tiles flip down when you match it. Keep rolling until no open tiles can make the roll. Shut all the tiles to shut the box, otherwise the tiles left count against you. Lower totals win rounds; solo runs score points.
