AMEROUS 12" Shut the Box, Colorful 4-Sided, 1-4 Players

On the table

Here is the classic dice game with a brighter face. Each of the four sides has its own color, applied with acrylic printing so the numbers stay put, and each carries tiles from 1 to 10. Two, three or four people can play together, and everyone can tell at a glance which side is theirs.

The frame is natural pine, 12 by 12 inches, built to resist scratches and water. Felt covers the surface, which softens the clatter of the dice and lets players concentrate. We include 12 dice, eight colored and four wooden, plus a bag to keep them from getting lost and an instruction manual.

It is a gentle way to teach basic addition, and it keeps older minds sharp too. Take it to school, a picnic, a birthday or the bar, and change the rules to suit the company.
