Instructions

This is a single-player game. The objective of this game is to close all of the boxes. Click the button to roll the dice. Once you do, you have multiple options to close boxes. -You can add up the two numbers and close the box that matches the sum. (Ex. Roll- 3, 4; Close Box- 7) -You can close the two boxes that match what you rolled. (Ex. Roll- 3, 4; Close Boxes- 3, 4) -You can close any two boxes that add up to the sum of what you rolled. (Ex. Roll- 3, 4; Close Boxes- 2; 5) (You cannot close more than two boxes per turn) If you have selected one box, but have not selected the other, you can press Space to undo that move. You cannot close a single box more than once, and when you shut a box, it stays shut until the end of the game. Keep playing until you run out of moves; meaning when you roll the dice and cannot make any moves because all of the possible boxes are already closed. (Note- your turn must add up to the sum of your dice. For example, if you roll a 1 and a 2, but the one and the three are already closed, you cannot close the two and keep playing; you lose because you could not add up to three.) When you lose, add up all of the boxes that are not closed. That is your score. The lowest score is the winner. If you manage to close all of the boxes, you have "shut the box", or have a score of zero (meaning you won the game). The computer will automatically detect when you have lost and will calculate your score for you. Now you can play with the double dice cheat! If you roll two of the same number (for example, 3 and 3), you can select any number you want to close it. This is a good cheat because it allows you to knock out the high numbers more easily, but remember that it is a cheat, so if you use this and win, you did not really win the game.

Description

DO NOT ADD TO ANY AE STUDIOS! This is based off of an old colonial game by the same name. It was often found in taverns. For better quality, use turbo mode. (Shift-Click the Green Flag). Slower computers may cause the notification pop-up to glitch. The pop-up may warn you turbo mode is off even though turbo mode is enabled. Please check out some of my other awesome projects! If you discover any glitches, please notify me so I can fix them!
