Shut Box

Shut Box board game.

The object of this game is to close as many numbered tiles as you can using the sum of the 2 rolled dice. The player with the lowest (best) score wins the round and gets the pool of game credits. If there is a tie, the pool of game credits increases until there is a round winner. A round costs each player 1 game credit. Once player has run out of credits they are removed from the game, unless game credits are updated.

To begin press 'Start Game' control button; the control button then changes to 'Roll Dice'

The first player will then select 'Roll Dice' to get their dice combination. The first player will then need to close the numbere tiles that equal the sum of the 2 die. Tiles can be closed in multiples so if he has a 10 for a combined roll the player can either select to close the 10 tile alone, and roll the dice again, or close any combination of tiles to equal 10. The control button then changes back to 'Roll Dice' until there are no longer any tiles to close that equal the combination of the 2 dice. It is the next players turn at that point.

When 'Roll Dice' is seen on the button, instead of clicking the button the player can chose to click the dice (or screen) as an alternative to clicking the control button.


To enter players:
Before 'Start Game' button is clicked, tap the 'Name' input box. Enter players name. Click next, then enter game credits the player wishes to play with and hit 'Done'. The 'Start Game' button will now show 'Insert player'. Click 'Insert Player' and repeat for as many players as needed. This same process can be done between rounds also. The 'Start Game' button between rounds displays 'New Round' instead.

To delete a player. Enter players name as it shows in the game. Hit next. When game credits shows their current game credits hit 'Done' (don't change the game credits.). The game control button will now show 'Delete Player'. Click it.

To edit game credits. Enter player name as shown in the game. When current game credits are shown you can go ahead and edit it and select 'Done'. The game control button now shows 'Update'. Click it.

The game is set with 2 default player names. When you enter custom player names one is removed at a time. If there are no longer any players in the list by you deleting players, the app adds the 2 default players back in.

See video for demonstration.

Future improvements I plan to include:
Better Player list.
