History and Facts
It's not known for sure where Shut the box originated. Most theories point to a source in Northern France and give Normandy or the Channel Islands as the specific location. It appears that it has been played in this region for at least two hundred years and is a game popular with sailors and fishermen. The game has several names, one of which is Canoga and one unconfirmed rumour claims that Shut the Box is also common in Zambia!
