- GAME RULES: The object of Windows Yacht is to reach the highest possible
- point score by rolling and scoring dice.
-
- A game of Yacht consists of thirteen turns, with up to three
- rolls of the dice allowed for each turn. At the end of each
- turn a score that has not already been used must be chosen
- and scored for the current dice.
-
- After any of the three rolls of a turn, a score can be chosen
- for the current dice, ending the turn. The different types
- of scores, and how their points are computed are:
-
- Ones.............. sum of all dice equal to one
-
- Twos.............. sum of all dice equal to two
-
- Threes............ sum of all dice equal to three
-
- Fours............. sum of all dice equal to four
-
- Fives............. sum of all dice equal to five
-
- Sixes............. sum of all dice equal to six
-
- Three of a kind... sum of all dice -- three of the dice
- must be equal
- Four of a kind.... sum of all dice -- four of the dice
- must be equal
- Full House........ 25 points -- three dice must be equal,
- and the remaining two dice must be equal
- Small Straight.... 30 points -- four dice must be in
- sequence, arranged in any order
- Large Straight.... 40 points -- five dice must be in
- sequence, arranged in any order
- Yacht............. 50 points -- all five dice must be equal
-
- Chance............ sum of all dice
-
- At the end of the game, the total of all scores gives the final
- score. If the total of all the scores on the left side of the
- score card (Ones through Sixes) is greater than or equal to 63
- points, an additional 35 point bonus is added.
-
- GAME PLAY: A new game begins by rolling the dice. To score the dice,
- click on a score item. When the desired score is found, press
- the Score button, the turn ends, and all the dice roll for the
- next turn.
-
- After the first and second rolls, some or all of the dice may
- be rolled again. To roll the dice, click on the desired dice
- to roll and press the Roll button. After the third roll of a
- turn, a score must be selected.
-
- For non-mouse users, the keyboard may also be used. Use the
- <tab> key to move between the dice, scores, and the Roll/Score
- button. Use the arrow keys to move from die to die, or from
- score to score. Use the <space bar> to select and deselect
- dice and scores. Finally, use the <return> key to press the
- Roll/Score button.
