Shut the Box is said to have been invented in the 12th Century France. Legend says that it was a cherished game among sailors and fishermen off the coast of Normandy some 200 years ago. It could be played for high stakes as a way to unwind after a hard day at sea, and a sailor could spend a good bit of his money during just one game.
Today Shut the Box is still played for stakes and is a favorite pub game in England. It is even said to be a popular game in Zambia! The game has several names including Canoga, Tric-Tac, and Batten Down the Hatches. No matter where it is played, at sea or on land, in Zambia or a pub in England, the universal appeal of Shut the Box will hone your basic math skills while keeping you entertained.
