Shut the box is kind of a unique tabletop game that is a lot of fun and a great conversation piece to keep on the coffee table. It may look a little complicated, but without any definite plans, I was able to complete the project from start to finish, in one day.
Let me know what you think of this game, and if you have any ideas for any other unique tabletop games, I'd love to hear them.
Thanks for watching!!

I like the contrasting woods as well, but for noise abatement, you might consider some cork board...

- Yes, actually my wife has already voted on felt and I have a funny feeling she's going to win. Thanks for watching!

Definitely the felt!

My German foreign exchange student says definitely don't add felt because it's beautiful how it is. My kids agree. I wonder if "flocking" like what you see in bandsaw boxes would be a good option? I like the natural appearance you've achieved.

- Thanks! As much as I love the natural look, my wife voted for felt. I've never tried flocking, I may have to give it a go on a future project. Thanks for watching!

Very nicely done. I like the contrast of the wood color too.

- Thank you! After playing a bit, my wife would like me to felt the center area. She says it's too loud.

I had never heard of this game before and like its simplicity. Just wondering if I can make this with a steampunk flair!

- Great idea, i could use a copper panel instead of plywood!
  @richardmccann48154 ай бұрын
- @@richardmccann4815 maybe use gears to separate game pieces and change game pieces for copper pipe. I think there’s a lot of possibilities. Mind if I take a shot at it?

- That's a great idea! I should start posting pre-project poles so I can get some of these ideas before I finish a project. Thanks!

Also, I'd definitely add the felt.

This came out really awesome! Love the hammer you use :) And something I think would look really awesome is wood burnt numbers :) It is still "hand drawn". But this came out amazing! (PS- never heard of this game before honestly)
@mistergamerguy4 ай бұрын
- I had never heard of the game until last week when I saw it in a store. When I looked it up, it's everywhere, so I guess I don't get out enough, haha. I was going to wood burn the numbers on but I thought I could make them neater with the marker, I was wrong, lol. Thanks for watching!

Love this. Cant wait for the plans. Would you have plans for a 2 player one too?
@donwoodshop4 ай бұрын
- I wasn't planning on it, but that's a great idea. Thanks!
  @boydstongrove4 ай бұрын
great idea . one question though if you get down to having only the 1 left, how can you win rolling 2 dice?
@TheOldGunsmith584 ай бұрын
- Once you have the numbers 6 and below you only roll 1 die
  @markkline56604 ай бұрын
- I complexly forgot about that rule! Thank you! I'll make sure to add the rules to the set of plans when I upload them.
  @boydstongrove4 ай бұрын
Great game but with 2 dice how do you roll a 1? Maybe start the tiles at 2?
@rikhalsteen83414 ай бұрын
- When I play, I usually use the one with a combination of the tiles to equal the number on the dice. 110 on the dice could be the 1 and 9 tiles, so on and so forth. Thanks for watching!

Anyone else just visualize one of those game pieces being launched off the belt sander? Sorry I just woke up LOL
