NekonyancerWelcome to *Shut the Box,* a traditional gambling game for any number of players! [green]This tutorial is best viewed on a computer![/green]1maintitlebar_content000
NekonyancerIn *Shut the Box,* players will roll two dice repeatedly, each time "shutting" numbers with the *exact same sum* as their dice. If they are unable to do so, their turn ends, and they gain points equal to the sum of the numbers they *couldn't* shut! [red]Players who pass a certain point threshold lose the game! Last one standing wins![/red]2maintitlebar_content000
Nekonyancer[green]Let's get started![/green] BGA already rolled the dice for us. Looks like we got a *9,* so we have to select one or more numbers that add up to 9. Well, a single 9 adds up to 9, doesn't it? *Select the "9" tile. Then click on [blue]"Shut selected"[/blue] at the top!*5box_11941354_9010box_11941354_9 16
Nekonyancer*Good!* We shut the "9" tile and we rolled the dice again. We got another 9. This time we'll have to combine some numbers. *Select 1 and 8. [blue]Shut them![/blue]*1box_11941354_8678b165722bcf10box_11941354_1 16 box_11941354_8 16
NekonyancerNext, we rolled a 5. *Shut the 5!*1box_11941354_7678b165e6ffc810box_11941354_5 16
Nekonyancer*Shut the 7!*1box_11941354_7678b1663a641b10box_11941354_7 16
NekonyancerFrom now on, since we've shut *7, 8, and 9,* we'll get a *choice* of rolling 1 or 2 dice. Remember, if we are unable to make a combination of numbers that add up to our dice total, our turn will end, and we want to shut as many numbers as we can! [blue]With that in mind, do you think we should roll 1 die or 2?[/blue]1generalactions678b1667d24d000
NekonyancerIf we roll a single die and get a 1, [red]our turn will end.[/red] With 2 dice, there's no risk; our remaining numbers can add up to any total from 2 to 12! *Roll 2 dice!*2generalactions678b1667d24d010
NekonyancerWe got an 8. We only have one option here. *You know what to do right?*1playertabledice_11941354678b1678119cc10
Nekonyancer[blue]Wow, only 2 numbers left![/blue] *Roll 1 die!* (Though in retrospect, it's probably better to roll 2 here.)1generalactions678b167cc4f0210
Nekonyancer[red]Oh no![/red] We rolled a *2!* There is no way we can make 2 with our remaining numbers, so our turn is over. We'll now gain points equal to the sum of our un-shut numbers. [red]That means we'll gain 7 points![/red]1playertabledice_11941354678b168193ade00
Nekonyancer[green]Okay, that was one complete turn![/green] If there were other players in this game, someone else would take a turn now. The game will keep going as you've seen until players hit the point limit, losing the game. [green]Last one standing wins![/green]2maintitlebar_content678b16832be8e00
Nekonyancer[blue]There is one other way the game can end.[/blue] If a player is lucky enough to shut all the numbers in a single turn, they will win ๐ŸŽŠ*instantly!*๐ŸŽŠ3maintitlebar_content678b16832be8e00
Nekonyancer[blue]By the way, there are all sorts of things you can customize in the lobby options, including...[/blue] • How many numbers there are to shut. • How points are scored (For example 4 + 7 = 47 points). • How many points are required to lose the game. [green]... and more![/green]4maintitlebar_content678b16832be8e00
Nekonyancer[blue]*Thank you for playing through this tutorial for Shut the Box!*[/blue] If you have any questions or comments about the tutorial, feel free to send *Nekonyancer* a message! A big thank you goes out to *ufm* for bringing this game to BGA! Have fun! :D5maintitlebar_content678b16832be8e00
