Shut the box is a game of dice for one or more players, commonly played in a group of two to four. 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). A 1967 edition of Brewing Review describes the game as being native to the Channel Islands, and records it being played in Manchester pubs in the mid-1960s. Taylor in "Pub Games" from 1976 mentions a claim that the game dates back to at least Napoleonic times. Shut the box is the basis of the American television quiz show High Rollers, which ran from 1974 to 1976 and 1978 to 1980 on NBC with Alex Trebek as the host.
