- > !YAHTZEE .... Adapted from the Brian Kilby BBC B Game by Alex Hopkins.
-
- In this dice game the object is to score as high a score as possible by
- placing the results obtained from the dice into the various categories.
-
- There are FIVE DICE .....
-
- You are allowed a maximum of 3 dice rolls for each category although you
- may stop after the first or second.
- You may 'keep' any or all the dice as you see fit by clicking on the arrow
- icon beside the relevant dice.
-
- When you are satisfied with the result (or after the third throw, whichever
- is first) you must place them in one of the 13 categories .....
-
- ONES to SIXES: every dice that has the same value as the category chosen is
- added together; eg 11223 = 4 (2+2) in category 2.
-
- 3 OF A KIND: any 3 dice the same score the value of all 5 dice.
-
- 4 OF A KIND: any 4 dice the same score the value of all 5 dice.
-
- FULL HOUSE: 3 of one number and 2 of another scores 25 points.
-
- 4 STRAIGHT: 1234 2345 or 3456 score 30 points (in any order).
-
- 5 STRAIGHT: 12345 or 23456 score 40 points (in any order).
-
- YAHTZEE!!: all dice the same score 50 points.
-
- CHANCE: anything goes here and scores the total value of all dice.
