WE Games Shut The Box Game with 12 Numbers in an Old World Styled Wood Box with a Lid and a Brass Latch
Brand: WE Games
Color: Brown
Now in a deluxe wooden box with an old world look. This wooden dice board game is a traditional game of counting, addition, and probability. This improved wood version with a felt playing surface has 12 numbers, rather than the typical 9 numbers of other versions, bringing more numerical combinations into play. Dating back to the 18th century, this game was enjoyed by Norman fishermen after a long day at sea. Roll the dice and lay down any numerical combination of tiles that match your roll. Just keep on rolling until you can no longer match your roll on the remaining tiles. The lowest score wins the game. If you lay down all the tiles, you win! This is sure to bring the old century charm to your home and can be played with any number of players.
BEST QUALITY: A wonderful game and an instant classic, this heirloom game is fast-paced fun for 2 or more players. The game is housed inside an old-world style box with metal latch closure that measures 11.11 x 9.3 x 2.15 in. 12 number tiles bring more numerical combinations into play than the typical nine number versions. The playing surface is lined with brown billiard felt for the softest of dice rolls. Dice and easy-to-understand instructions are included.
GREAT FOR CLASSROOMS & FOR TEACHING ADDITION. While this is a great game for families and friends of all ages, it is an excellent tool for teaching basic addition. The player rolls the dice, adds up the values, and then lays down the tiles that have the sum. These simple rules keep the player engaged in computing addition facts while enjoying game with friends.
