About the game

The old pub dice game, on your phone. Roll two dice, shut any open tiles that add up to the roll, and try to shut the whole box.

Easy to learn in one turn. Hard to shut. A game lasts two minutes.

Two boxes: 9 tiles and 12

The classic nine-tile box and the long twelve-tile one, which is a different game: more tiles, more ways to pay a roll, and a much harder shut.

The single-die rule

With 6 or less left open you may roll one die instead of two. It is the rule that makes boxes actually close, and it is explained inside.

2 players on one phone

Pass the phone and play. No internet, no accounts, nobody to wait for.

Six computer levels

From a beginner that misses the obvious to an opponent that plays the exact optimal move every time. The levels are measured against that optimum, not guessed.

Daily challenge

The same box and the same dice for everybody, every day. One attempt. Keep the streak going.

Your records and achievements

Your shuts are kept per box and per mode. Shut the nine, shut the twelve, keep a streak: each one is an achievement.

Made for the thumb

Tap a tile to pick it, tap again to drop it. Undo when your finger slips, ask for a hint when a roll looks impossible, reroll when it really is.

Offline and light

Never needs a connection. Small download, no sign-up, nothing you did not ask for.

No lobbies, no waiting for strangers. Just the box, the dice, and two minutes.
