It's fun for the whole family! The kids get to practice their math and the grown ups get to bet.
I whomped my brother in law by shutting the box when we had both bet our whole stack of chips. I had been down to one chip at one point then came back with a vengence and KICKED ASS!
Not that I am competitive or anything, it's all just good clean fun, especially when I win :D

Aaah, beating an in-law. Does anything bring more pleasure than that? Excellent blog, by the way!
Oooh, Shut the Box rocks! :) Our version has little wooden peg guys, but I think most of them hace been lost now. :-/ I think the flippy kind is best since we are really good at losing game pieces. I never thought of betting on it, LOL!
Cool, and it's really cute, too.
We have one too, it just looks a little different, not in a box. I think my kids called it Captain's Fancy?? Have no idea where that came from.
