Regal Games Shut The Box 12 Spot Game Set

I saw a video on Twitter of people playing this, and immediately ordered it. It showed up two hours into a three day power outage and is really the only thing that kept us sane. No power, no screens, nothing to do, and this little wooden box kept us legitimately entertained the entire time. Did not expect a dice math game to be the MVP of that week but here we are. The game’s a lot of fun on its own. Easy to learn, works solo or with people, and it’s surprisingly good for kids since it’s really just addition and a little strategy. The set is better than I expected too. The wood is solid, the tiles are substantial, and flipping them down and setting them back up is weirdly satisfying. I catch myself resetting the tiles just to flip them again (you’ll understand when you get it, but you start at the number 12 and try to get them all to stand back up in one swoop using your index finger). It’s fun enough that we keep it out, not buried in a closet with the other games. Heads up, it’s harder than it looks to actually shut the box. During the blackout I played for three or four days straight, hours at a time, before I finally cleared every tile. Important to note, I won and shut the box before my wife did. If you’re competitive, I’d clear your calendar before you sit down with it. When I went to write this I tried to film a quick time-lapse and ended up winning on camera, so I obviously had to include that for documentation purposes (for you sure, but mainly for my wife). It plays the time-lapse and then slows down so you can check my work. And no, it didn’t take hours this time, the blackout reps paid off. Solid set, legit fun, kept multiple people entertained for three powerless days. Easy rec for game night, travel, the kids, or the next time the lights go out.

Great quality and well built. Made of wood. This game is a lot of fun. Excellent for leaning beginning math skills. Although this is described as for 2 or more players, it certainly can be played by 1 person. Fun for kids and adults. Great for first graders just introduced to math, and for everyone else. This game is simple and fun.

This is such a fun game for young & old. I have two now. I’m over 50 & when we have friends over, we play this game. I bought another one for my 8 year old grandson. He loves it & it’s so educational. He adds up all the points & figures combination of numbers. Great but & very affordable

Such a fun game! Learned the game while on vaca in Belize. So fun!
