-
Learned in a minute: these tile games for adults and kids need only simple counting and flipping rules, with no particular skill level required
-
Practice that never feels like a lesson: kids count dots and work out which tiles add up, bringing addition and subtraction into play
-

-
Everything in one box: the board and dice store together as one self-contained set
Roll the dice into the box, count the dots and flip down the tiles that add up to the total: a round of shut the box takes a minute to learn and gives two to four players, kids and adults alike, a reason to sit down at the table. Kids get to spend time with numbers without it feeling like a lesson, and no particular skill level is needed to start.
This game is a tile and dice set built into a solid pine box that measures 11.7 x 11.7 x 1.3 in (29.7 x 29.7 x 3.3 cm) and weighs 1.43 lbs (0.65 kg). Every round starts with the number tiles standing up, and play continues until no combination is left to flip; the most tiles down wins. As one of the math games for kids and one of the educational games that bring counting, addition, subtraction and simple multiplication into ordinary play, it also gives adults a quick round at family gatherings, parties and holidays, one of the family games and party games that suits a pair or a small group. Adult supervision is required: the game contains small dice that are a choking hazard, so keep it away from children under three years.
