MoodLife Modular Shut The Box Game (Expandable to 8+ Player) - Large 11.8" Wooden Board with 4 Detachable Trays | Math Dice Game for Family Party, Classroom - Classic Tabletop Gift for Kids & Adults

This is a really fun version of Shut the Box. The wooden board looks nice and feels well made, and the detachable trays are a great idea if you want to play with more people. It makes the game much more flexible for family gatherings or parties. The larger size of the board is also nice and gives everyone enough space to play comfortably. It is a simple game but surprisingly addictive once you get going. Overall it is a great tabletop game that works well for both kids and adults.

Plan to replace the dice. They are too light weight to be used.

Nice classic game of shut the box. Took this with us on our ski trip to Montana to play for classic relaxed gaming as apre ski. Friends who have traveled were impressed by such a nice traditional pub game. Good wood, and nice dice with all the numbers to flip down. Also, the right size to fit back in its cardboard box to go into the family game cabinet.

I wanted to give this 5 stars as it is a 5 star product. However they're ate no instructions or rules whatsoever in the box. No idea how to play! You have to get on your phone of PC and google how to play to know what to do once you open the box. I thought it might be a mistake, so I checked the listing, and instructions are not shown as included. Anyway... the item itself. Masterful build. The game board and individual player boards are all made of wood, very well made, very well done. The playing field in the board is felt, applied very well and it looks fantastic. The dice are also quality and great colors. The overall quality is fantastic. 10/10 for quality and craftsmanship. If only they included rules or instructions of some kind, this would be a perfect product!

We’ve been playing this on and off for a couple weeks and it’s become our “keep it on the table” game. The best part is the modular setup. Instead of one big fixed board, you get four separate little number racks that sit on a base. That sounds minor, but it’s actually nice. People can spread out, grab their own rack, and you’re not all leaning over each other. We used it on a small coffee table, then took it to a friend’s place and spread it out on a big dining table. Easy either way. It’s also sturdy. Real wood, decent weight, and the number tiles flip cleanly. No sticky tiles. No cheap plastic feel. It comes with a pile of dice (8), which is great because dice always disappear in my house. If you’ve never played Shut the Box, it’s simple. Roll, add the dice, flip down numbers that match, and try to end with the lowest score. But you can also make your own rules. We tried a “must use two numbers” rule and it got way more competitive than I expected. This is also one of those games that sneaks in math practice without anyone groaning. Kids just start doing the addition in their head because they want to win. Only heads-up: the “expandable to 6+ players” thing means buying extra racks later. Out of the box it’s really a 1 to 4 player game. Also, since the racks are loose, someone will bump one and shift it around. Normal chaos, not a dealbreaker. If you like quick games with a pub vibe, or you want something that works for family night and camping trips, this one’s been a hit here.

Nice quality game overall. The board and pieces are made of wood and feel solid, indicating good quality rather than cheap. It looks good and has a classic feel, which I really like. The only downside is that there’s no instruction manual included. If you’ve never played Shut the Box before, you’ll have to look up the rules (I ended up using ChatGPT). Other than that, it’s a good game and I’m happy with it.

ASIN: B0FX9VD7VD $24.99 MoodLife Modular Shut The Box Game (Expandable to 8+ Player) - Large 11.8" Wooden Board with 4 Detachable Trays | Math Dice Game for Family Party, Classroom - Classic Tabletop Gift for Kids & Adults Description: This modular shut-the-box game includes a large wooden base with four detachable number racks and eight dice, designed for flexible seating and expandable group play. It is marketed as a family, classroom, or party game that also functions as a math-learning tool. The set is intended for quick setup and customizable gameplay using classic shut-the-box rules. Review: The wooden board and wooden point counters are nice and sturdy and are well made. However, there are no instructions included in the box, and there are no instructions provided on the listing. Without any explanation of how to play, the game is effectively unusable unless you already know the rules. For a game marketed to families, classrooms, and casual players, this is a major omission. At this pricepoint, a complete lack of directions makes it a shockingly poor value.

My family had never heard of or played this game, but we are up for trying anything. The set itself is very nice – made with real wood, each piece looks and feels solid and well-made. This is a four-player game, but it can also be played with two or three players. My only real comment/complaint is that the set lacked instructions. We opened the box, expecting to find a sheet with the game rules and instructions, but none were included. I googled the game and found several gameplay options, so we did okay with that. Overall, my children enjoyed the game, and it will be a nice addition to our board game collection.
