Shut the box - Cierra la caja - Canoga - 1001 Juegos de mesa antiguos y nuevos en madera

Shut the Box The game has several names, including Canoga, Tric-Trac, and Batten Down the Hatches. Rules and equipment vary from place to place. Unconfirmed histories of the game suggest a variety of origins, including 12th-century Normandy (northern France) as well as the mid-20th-century Channel Islands (Jersey and Guernsey), which one source attributes to a man known as 'Chalky' Towbridge. A 1967 edition of Brewing Review describes the game as originating in the Channel Islands and records that it was played in Manchester pubs in the mid-1960s. Another account claims that Shut the Box was played by 19th-century fur trappers of the Hudson's Bay Company. Today, Shut the Box is still played for stakes and is a favorite tavern game in England. Versions of the game have also been played in Barotseland (Zambia, central Africa). The game is also popular in Thai beer bars, with special rules. This is one of the most interesting games of mathematical logic. The game consists of a board or box with opening number windows (from 1 to 10). The player must either close or open the box, depending on the version. How to play? 1, 2, 3, or 4 players. Objective: Up to four people can play. Some people play alone, as a pastime. A player's turn consists of repeatedly rolling the dice until they can no longer close the numbers. Each roll of the dice is determined as follows: If the numbers 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 are covered or closed, the player decides whether to roll one or both. If any of these six numbers are still not covered, the player must roll both dice. The player rolls the die, or the dice, in the box and adds them up. Then, the player must turn over the set of uncovered numbers that, when added or subtracted, give the result of the roll. Example: If the total sum of the dice is 8, the player may choose one of the following sets of numbers, as long as all the numbers in the set are available to be turned over: Summation of the dice = 8. 8. Only the number 8 is turned over. 7 & 1. The numbers 7 + 1 = 8. 6 & 2. The numbers 6 + 2 = 8. 5 & 3. The numbers 5 + 3 = 8. 5 & 2 & 1. The numbers 5 + 2 + 1 = 8. 4 & 3 & 1. The numbers 4 + 3 + 1 = 8. Subtractions may also be performed. Players will continue to perform the same function on their respective rolls. Once a number is turned over, it will remain unturned for that round. Eventually, the player will roll a combination of numbers for which there is no unrolled combination of numbers available to complete the operation. In this case, they will lose their turn. Example: If the numbers 1, 5, and 9 are unrolled and the player rolls a sum equal to 4, their roll options would be: 4; 3 + 1. Or subtracting 8–4 = 4; 6–2 = 4. Since they cannot complete the result, the player will lose their turn, giving the dice to the next player. Winner The player who manages to roll all the dice first wins. Variation 1 A very popular variation is to perform several additions and subtractions in a single roll. Example: The dice roll is: 6 + 1 = 7 Using the associative law of mathematics, we move the pieces as follows: [3 + 2 + 5 + 6] – [9 – 1] – [8 – 7] = 7 Raising a total of 8 pieces in a single roll. Remember that the objective of the game is to be the first player to raise all their pieces. Similarly, we can do: 7. Only the number 7 is raised. 6 + 1. The numbers 6 + 1 are raised = 7. 5 + 2. The numbers 5 + 2 are raised = 7 4 + 3. The numbers 4 + 3 are raised = 7 3 + 2 + 1. The numbers 4 + 2 + 1 are raised = 7 Subtraction can also be performed. In this variation, the game should be played with time to stimulate the brain and force it to perform the mathematical operations quickly. 2-Player Variations A player's turn consists of repeatedly rolling the dice (without surrendering them) until they can no longer close out the numbers.
