How to play
- Roll the dice.
- Shut any open tiles that add up to the roll. Roll 8? Shut the 8, or 7 + 1, or 5 + 2 + 1, and so on.
- Keep rolling and shutting. When no open tiles can make the roll, your turn ends.
- Your score is the sum of the tiles still open. Lower is better. Shut every tile and you've shut the box (score 0).
- With friends, everyone plays a full box in turn. Lowest score wins the round.
Keyboard: number keys pick tiles (0 = 10, - = 11, = = 12), Space or Enter rolls or shuts, N starts a new solo game.
