Shut the Box Classic Examine App

Awesome game! Developer was helpful.

I really enjoy this game. Especially the dual American game. I reported a small bug and the developer got back to me right away and fixed it. NO ADS!

Weak graphics, Weak help, and Rude Developer

Game has weak graphics. No option to play against computer. Help appears to be limited to Coin Calculations. If you want to play variations and know the rules associated with them you’ll have to do the research yourself. Developer is also very rude in responding to reviews that aren’t positive. Suggest looking elsewhere!

Best Shut the Box!

All shut the box world games for all, no ads! Plus everything just works. Great gameplay. Well worth the money!

Works after updates.

Another reviewer already said this (I should have read the reviews first), but you need coins to play. When you run out of coins you are required to buy some. I have the physical version of this game and I love it. But I'm not going to continue to pay for coins. UPDATE: Developer message said I could shut betting off so I could play the game. So I re-downloaded it and it works great.

Money Sucker

Played 10 times and now it wants money for coins. I want my money back. Got ripped off. DONT BUY THIS APP

Eh

Is a good game. But wish I had looked it over before I bought it. I hate having to gamble before every turn!

Total rip off - stay away!!!!

They make you pay for the app then you have to buy coins to play - should not be allowed!

Not worth pay-to-play

This is pretty low-end on graphics and audio. Would be fine as a free app, but paying 99 cents every time you lose 500+ coins?... so not worth it.

Don't buy unless you want to spend more money

Bought this game, played 5 rounds and ran out of coins. Can't play anymore unless I'm willing to buy a chest of coins. I'm not. No option to get coins daily. Deleting.

Feel Like I Got Scammed

So, the game is well made and plays nicely. Problem is, it's bricked after you lose 500 coins which takes about 10 minutes. Wanna' play again, then pay for more coins. Had this been explained CLEARLY up front, I'd have never bought it in the first place. Was just looking for something to pass the time while traveling. I passed about ten minutes. That's it. I really feel scammed. Glad the lesson only cost me 99 cents.

No longer free

This was a great app until they started charging $.99 for 500 coins.

Lame

What the hell is the point of winning coins if you can't spend them on anything?

Perfect shut the box!

The only app with all shut the box styles! Cool effects and addicting gameplay! Really nice game. I had it on iPhone 5 and it works great on both iPhone 5 and iPhone 6.

Needs 1 die option

In classic rules, when you clear the tiles 7, 8 & 9, you may opt for 1 die. This increases your odds of winning and makes it possible to close a 1 if it happens to be the last tile.

Wasted money

Multi player does not work. Numbers are to small. My shut the box classic board game at home goes to 12 this only goes to 9? Does not say if you can play some one on there phone.

Not bad ... Can be better.

Dice are hard to read until you realize which way is the "top" of the dice. This can be improved. Also: needs Thai rules, which I find a majority of people use.

3 short

the numbers should go up to twelve not stop at nine.

Not good.

Bad dice algorithm.

Extremely disappointing

Graphics do not match screensot. Very choppy play don't waste your money. The dice don't even roll nor does the game save your score.

Boring

After you play it a few times it's just boring. It doesn't even keep a score for you.

Misleading screen shot

Very low quality graphics for a paid app. Screenshot is not of the actual game. Don't waste your .99

LOW TECH, NO FEATURES

This is worse than the free version! where's the stats? the ability to mute the stupid die rolling sound? the graphics are very low tech! I'm very disappointed and want my $1 back.

Love it!

Been playing this for years, in England, in the U.S, in the bathroom, on the grass, you name it! I have a couple of table versions of this and now this app. Fun game known to have been used for gambling purposes in certain circles. Fun for the whole family!

Very disappointed

Most roles have a 1 in it. If not, the first and second role equal the same number. And I've never seen so many snake eyes in my life. Not random at all, just annoying, and I love the real game.

great!

my family loves to play this game and i love to say i can play anytime. the real thing is $20 so this is a great deal. there should be an option for double shutter though because that adds alot to the gameplay. update maybe?

Not impressed

The screen shots look pretty good but unfortunately, the game itself doesn't match the pictures. The boxes are basic white, not wood tone as the screenshots indicate and the nice red background doesn't exist either. I could deal with that, but the game play is boring too. Oh well...it was only .99 so I didn't lose much when I deleted it.

Shut the box

Great game. looks deceptively easy but becomes very challenging and makes you think as you play. Kids can play and learn simple addition and subtraction while being entertained. Adults too can enjoy this, but be careful, it might become addicting. I found this a real bargin for a buck without the calories.
