Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Get ready to shut the Super Box. Double Shutter is a beautiful and irresistible game that combines tactical choices and luck for endless fun.

Product Description

The game will always stay open with its challenging game play and attractive wooden design. Roll two dice, add the dots and find the best combination of numbers to shut two rows of nine tiles. Don't touch a tile on the second row unless you have already shut the tile in front of it. Very few can shut all the tiles and close the super box. Even less can stop playing this addicting game, so always remember to play in moderation. Blue Orange plants two trees for every tree used to produce their games.

I asked for this game for my 38th birthday--believe it or not! Every time I would take my 2 children into the local toy store I would stand and play this game which they had on display. Honestly, it is a great educational game for both my 6 and 9 year old children--you have to add up the dice and then figure out which combination of numbers is best to flip down. It really is fun and very addictive. I knew my kids would love to give it to me since they always saw me play it, and I also knew they would enjoy it and not realize they were having to do math!

This review is from: Double Shutter Tin (Toy)

My daughter's 4th grade friends had fun competing with each other, trying to "shut the box" or get the lowest score. For my 1st grade son, it was a fun way to reinforce his addition math facts. All the kids liked it. We've purchased a couple more sets for birthday presents for friends. This version (Double Shutter)is a better made product than it's "junior" counterpart. This rendition has nice "shutters" (they are made of something similar to domino tiles),the box is felt lined and everything snaps shut into the tin. The only thing I don't like is the retail price. We've tried to purchase it on sale, which occasionally you can find it for 20 to 25% off at some stores (much better value then).

This is a great thinking game for kids. It can either be played alone where you compete against yourself, or you can be motivated to play rounds and beat someone else!
