Shut the Box for 6 players is a
dice game by
Philos that combines luck, strategy, and fun in a simple yet exciting format.
This classic game is designed to be played with up to six players at the same time. The wooden box contains six rows of flip-down numbers, allowing each player to compete in the same round. The goal is simple: roll the dice and flip down the numbers that match the rolled value. Try to close all the numbers in your row before anyone else does to win the game!
How to play:
Each player controls a row of numbers from 1 to 9. On your turn, roll two dice and choose which combination of numbers to close by flipping down the corresponding tiles. Your turn continues as long as you can make valid moves. If no more numbers can be closed, your turn ends, and the sum of the remaining open numbers is counted as penalty points. After an agreed number of rounds, the player with the lowest score wins.
Why it’s recommended:
Shut the Box is easy to learn but offers tension and tactical choices with every roll. This version for six players makes it perfect for families, friends, and game nights. With its solid wooden design, it combines durability, classic style, and long-lasting fun.
