Will YOU close the box?

CLOSE THE WHAT?

CloseTheBox is a realistic Shut the box game. It's a casual board game where you need to shut all the tiles with two dice. As simple as that.

Top 10 in the Board/Dice games category in many countries.

More than 10,000 games were played in the first 24 hours!

FEATURES

  • Almost a realistic design.
  • Sound effects.
  • Help mode (or the "Don't think, just keep trying" mode for the lazy minds).
  • Français/English, more languages to come soon!
  • It took me 134 times before I (without any cheat), closed it.

RULES

The rules of the classic game are quite simple. You have two dice and a wooden box. Your goal is to roll the dice to 'shut' or 'close' the box. To do that, you need to roll the dice, and the total sum of the two will make a number that you can match by closing two of the shutters. For example, if you have a total of 8, you can close 7+1, 6+2, 5+3, or 5+2+1. Once a slider is shut, it stays shut for the whole game. Many variants of the game were invented later on (coming in the next updates). The game continues until all of the sliders are shut or an impossible roll occurs. If the player manages to close the box (the probability is pretty low), they have the privilege to write on the 'Box of Fame'.

Good luck!
