Mini Shut The Box

As a kid I used to love this game and over the years my youngest daughter also loved the game. The aim of the game is extremely simple…roll the dice, add up the numbers and close up to 3 boxes that make up the amount shown on the dice. The main aim of the game is to close all the boxes. There are 2 scoring rules, first is, if you are left with numbers 1,3,6 and 8 your score is literally 1368. The second rule is to simply add up the numbers you have left over. Obviously the aim is to gain as lower score as possible. This mini version I have created is only 105mm long and 61mm deep. Some assembly is required as the numbers, box, lid, dice and rod to fit the numbers in are all printed separately.Assembly is simple. Place the numbers with the hole in line with the hole for the rod in the box. The hole on the numbers should be placed at the top so the diagonal part of the number is facing up wards (See photo). Slide the rod through and hold in place with a little glue on the rod end.The lid
