Description:
"From coins covering numbers scratched into the deck of a fishing boat to the high-tech glitz of the TV game show High Rollers, Shut The Box in its many guises has been around since the 18th century, when it is thought to have been invented by fishermen in the Channel Islands.Its simplicity (very young children easily understand and enjoy it), coupled with the fun of trying to ""beat the odds"" have made it an old standard, especially in the British Isles, where it remains a popular pub game to this day."
