How To Play Yahtzee Dice

Yahtzee is an old time favorite and well known dice game played with 5 dice and a lot of luck. Players must roll the dice and attempt to get the highest number of points by rolling the exact combinations listed on your score sheet. You'll only get three shots to get your combination. You never know, you just might get a Yahtzee (all five dice the same number)!

The objective of the game is to roll certain combinations of numbers on the dice in order to score the most points. The game consists of 13 rounds, and in each round, the player rolls the dice up to three times to try to achieve a specific combination. The player can choose which dice to keep and which to re-roll on each roll. After the third roll, the player must score the roll in one of 13 categories on the scorecard.

The categories include:

• Ones: the sum of all ones rolled
• Twos: the sum of all twos rolled
• Threes: the sum of all threes rolled
• Fours: the sum of all fours rolled
• Fives: the sum of all fives rolled
• Sixes: the sum of all sixes rolled
• Three of a kind: the sum of all five dice if at least three are the same
• Four of a kind: the sum of all five dice if at least four are the same
• Full House: 25 points if three of a kind and a pair are rolled
• Small Straight: 30 points if four sequential dice are rolled
• Large Straight: 40 points if five sequential dice are rolled
• Yahtzee: 50 points if five of a kind are rolled
• Chance: the sum of all five dice

A player can earn a bonus of 35 points if they score 63 or more points in the upper section of the scorecard. The game can be played by one or more players and is a popular game for families and groups of friends. Yahtzee is a game of luck and strategy, where players roll five dice to try to achieve different combinations of numbers that will earn them points.
