Scoring

After You Roll

When you are finished rolling, decide which category you would like to place your score.� For each game, there are 13 categories and a bonus Yahtzee area.�You must select one of these on each turn.� If you have no valid play you must take a zero in one of the categories.� You can choose to take a zero on a category even if you can score in another.� You can only choose a category once during a game, except the bonus Yahtzee, it may be selected as many times as you get a Yahtzee in a game, although it will only become active after your first Yahtzee.� Fill in each category only once in any order, depending on your best scoring option.
