A quick video explaining how to play Shut the Box, a traditional pub dice game. There are some variants but this is how we play at home and it seems to be the most common method.
If playing English pub rules then you'd typically set a wager at the start of the game, all players would put in their money and the winner would take the pot. I have read that some people play a rule where if a player 'shuts the box' then the other players must pay double the original wager to the winning player - I prefer to keep it simple though.
The game also goes by a few other names including Canoga, Klackers, Zoltan Box, Batten Down the Hatches, Jackpot or High Rollers
