Welcome To Yatzy

Yatzy is an addictive dice game in which each player has to use a mixture of skill and luck to use the dice they roll the best they can.

This version of Yatzy can support a multiple number of players although you can play alone and try to beat your own high/low scores. If you get bored or have to go, you can save the game, load and continue at a later date.

How to Play

Each player has their own game board and take it in turns to roll the five dice by clicking the roll button.

They can then roll either all the dice or one dice up to a further two times to try to better their dice by either clicking on the dice or clicking on the roll button again.

Each player must then click one of the buttons depending on what dice they have. Each button must be used but can only be used once. Play passes around until all players have filled their grids.

Buttons and Scoring


Buttons and Scoring

1-6 :	These add up the number of dice matching the number of the button you click  e.g. Dice show 1,3,3,4,5 and you click 3 - there are two 3's - score=2x3=6.
1 Pair:	The highest scoring pair of numbers are used. e.g. Dice show 1,1,3,4,4 click 1 pair - highest pair = 4&4 - score=4+4=8.
2 Pairs:	The scores of 2 pairs of numbers are used. e.g. Dice show 2,2,3,4,4 click 2 pairs - highest 2 pairs = 2&2 + 4&4 – score=12
3 of a Kind:	The scores of the three matching dice are used e.g. Dice Show 3,5,5,5,6 click 3 of a Kind - Score 5+5+5=15
4 of a Kind	Same as 3 of a Kind but 4 of the dice are added e.g. Dice Show 3,3,3,3,6 click 4 of a Kind - Score 3+3+3+3=12
Yatzy	5 of a Kind, always scores 50 points
Low Straight	1,2,3,4,5 always scores 1+2+3+4+5=15 points
High Straight	2,3,4,5,6 always scores 2+3+4+5+6=20 points
Full House	1 pair + 3 of a Kind  e.g. Dice Show 2,2,2,3,3 - Scores 2+2+2+3+3=12 points
Chance	Any combination of dice scores e.g. Dice Show 1,3,4,5,6 - Scores 1+3+4+5+6=19 points

If you click any of the buttons which your dice do not meet the requirements of, you will be prompted on whether you want to put 0 in that cell. Every cell must be filled to finish the game, but you can put 0 in any.

If the scores in the 1-6 boxes total 62 or more, you receive a 25 point bonus!
