Triple Yahtzee is an adaptation of the popular dice game. The object
of the game is to fill in all categories, in all games and accumulate
as many points as possible. Each time you play a new game, your goal
is to beat your prior score as well as the top score.
In this game you roll the dice (up to 3 times) until you have a hand
that will fit into a category on the game board. You are actually
playing three (3) separate games at one time. Game identifiers are
located at the top of the 3 columns used to record a score.
You will have the choice of selecting the category AND game the
points are to be placed in. Since you do have a choice, you should be
aware that points, placed in game 3, will be TRIPLED, points placed
in game 2 will be DOUBLED and points placed in game 1 REMAIN as
entered. The points will not show as doubled or tripled in the
individual category, but will be reflected in the GRAND TOTAL score.
Please keep this scoring methodology in mind as it plays a major role
in your strategy in maintaining a high score.
Yahtzee BONUSes, valued at 100 points each, are awarded for each
Yahtzee you roll AFTER you have filled in all three (3) Yahtzee
categories with 0 or 50 points.
Since each game played, may take longer than the time you have left
on the BBS, a SAVE feature has been incorporated into the game. If
you select the [Q] option you will be given a choice of SAVing the
game for restart during your next Yahtzee Door access.
ONE - SIX Will add the total of the dice number you choose, into
the corresponding category. For example, if you roll 3
sixes, and you choose sixes as the category, the program
will insert 18 in the game you have chosen. If the total
of all six categories is greater than 62, you earn a 35
point bonus.
3 of a KIND You are looking to roll 3 of the same die. If you are
successful, you will accumulate the face value of all
the dice rolled.
4 of a KIND You are looking to roll 4 of the same die. If you are
successful, you will accumulate the face value of all
the dice rolled.
FULL HOUSE A roll of 3 of a kind and a pair equals a full house.
If you are successful, you will accumulate 25 points.
SM. STRAIGHT A small straight consists of 4 dice in numerical
sequence (ie: 2,3,4,5). If you are successful, you
will accumulate 30 points.
LG. STRAIGHT A large straight consists of all 5 dice in numerical
sequence (ie: 1,2,3,4,5). If you are successful, you
will accumulate 40 points.
YAHTZEE Rolling all 5 dice with the same face value, will
accumulate 50 points.
CHANCE This category accepts the total of all 5 dice.
The HOTKEY feature, when enabled, tells the game that you do not
want to press ENTER after entering required data. If the HOTKEY
feature is turned off, you will have to press ENTER each time. The
default setting of the HOTKEY feature, when you enter the game, is
set by the Sysop.
You may review this INSTRUCTION/HELP file, at any time, by
selecting option [I] off the Main Menu. The game board will be
restored when you return to the game.
