Shut the Box Maths JavaScript Simulation Applet HTML5


Shut the Box, also called Blitz, Bakarat, Canoga, Klackers, Batten Down the Hatches, Kingoball, Trictrac, Cut Throat, Fork Your Neighbor, and Jackpot, is a game of dice for one or more players, commonly played in a group of two to four for stakes.

Instructions

Step 1: Select a mode from the Combo Box


Golf – A player's score is the sum of the numbers remaining uncovered at the end of his turn. The player with the lowest score wins.

Missionary – A player's score is the total number (count) of the tiles remaining uncovered at the end of his turn. For example, a player scores 3 if at the end of his turn 3 tiles remain open. The player with the lowest score wins.

Unlucky Number 7 – A standard game, when a 7 is rolled, the game stops.

3 Down Extreme – numbers 1, 2 and 3 are pre dropped, leaving numbers 4 to 9 up.

Against all Odds – All odd numbers are up and evens down.

Even Stevens – All even numbers are up and odds down.

Thai style – Always roll two dice, but only cover one tile matching one of the dice or their sum. For example, if the dice show a 2 and a 3 you may cover one of 2, 3, or 5.

Digital – A player's score at the end of the turn is the number obtained by reading the up digits as a decimal number from left to right. For example, if 1, 2, and 5 are left up the score is 125.

2012 – All 12 are up, but use a 20-sided Dungeons and Dragons die rather than the pair of 6 dice: 20-sided die playing 12 numbers – 2012. 

Step 2: Roll the Dices

Keep rolling until you receive a gameover.


The game ends when both plays reach game end.

This will create a new game button and their scores will be carried over to the 
next round.
