The player must then cover available numbers that add up to the total thrown. The player throws the die or dice into the box and adds up the pips. If any of these 3 numbers are still uncovered, the player must use both dice.If 7, 8 and 9 are all covered, the player decides whether to throw one die or two.Each throw of the dice is taken as follows: A turn consists of a player repeatedly throwing the dice until he or she cannot continue. The PlayĪ round of the game consists of each player taking one turn to try to shut the box. Two dice are the only other requirement, although a dice cup may be used if desired. Each number has a corresponding square panel cover which can either slide or swing to cover the number. A row numbers one to nine also appear along the top length.
