Hi Carol
This brings back very fond memories for me as I had one the RNIB sold many
moons ago and used to play it with my son when he was little. Scary to
think of passing time, he was 25 two days ago! (smile.)
Kind Regards,
Jackie Brown

Brilliant, Iain. Thanks a lot for that description. I didn't find it in the
RNIB catalogue. Where is it sold, do you know?

If yours has 15 flippable little lids - the one we have has only ten -
then you flip them all up and they should be numbered from 1 to 15.
You then throw the two dice simultaneously and aggregate the two
numbers on the dice. You then have to choose which of the lids you are
going to close in order to make up that number. For instance, if you
threw a 6 and a 4 you would have to close a combination of lids which
added up to 10. So you could decide to close the number 10 on its own
or you might close 7 2 and 1, or any other appropriate combination.
Your turn is over when the number you throw with the dice is greater
than the sum of all the numbers you have available to close. So if you
have only your number 5 and two lids still open and the dice throw
produces a total greater than 7, that's game over for you and the
remaining total is noted down next to your name or just remembered.
Your playing partner then starts again with all the flippers in the
open position and their ai
is to have a smaller total than your 7 by the time their turn is over.It's playable with two or more players and you can either play three or five
