Product details
Shut the Box (also called Canoga, Klackers, Batten Down the Hatches, kingoball and Jackpot), is a game of dice for one or more players, commonly played in a group of two to four for stakes. Traditionally, a counting box is used with tiles numbered 1 to 9 where each can be covered with a sliding mechanism.
