Yatzy – the dice game
Roll five dice up to three times per turn, hold the ones you want to keep and choose which box to score in. Fill the whole score sheet with the classic Nordic Yatzy rules and beat your own record!
Tap Roll to start. Tap a die to hold it.
How to play
Yatzy is played with five dice and a score sheet of fifteen boxes. On each turn you may roll up to three times: after the first roll you hold the dice you want to keep by tapping them, then roll the rest again to improve your hand. When you are happy – or out of rolls – you choose one box to record your result in. Every box can be used only once, so part of the challenge is deciding when to settle for a low score and when to gamble for a big one.
The upper section counts ones through sixes: you score the sum of the dice showing that number. Collect at least 63 points up top and you earn a 50-point bonus. The lower section rewards combinations – one pair, two pairs, three of a kind, four of a kind, a small straight (1-2-3-4-5 = 15), a large straight (2-3-4-5-6 = 20), a full house, chance (the sum of all dice) and Yatzy, five of a kind, worth a full 50 points.
This is a solo version: you play against your own best total, which is saved locally in your browser. There is no login and nothing is sent anywhere. A good tactic is to secure the upper-section bonus early, keep Chance as a safety net, and never throw away your Yatzy box unless you truly have to – a lucky five-of-a-kind can decide the whole game.
