Instructions: Use your mouse to play this game.
Yatzy Classic is the dice game many people grew up with at the kitchen table, also called Yacht, Poker Dice or Yatzee. You get 13 rounds to fill your score card, and the aim is to finish with the highest total you can manage.
The rules are the traditional ones, with five dice and a card of combinations. We file it under Puzzle games, and the dice roll just as happily on a phone screen.
Rules of Yatzy
Each round you roll five dice, and in the classic rules you may reroll some or all of them twice more. Then you decide where that roll goes on your card, for example under a number, a pair, a straight or five of a kind. Each line takes a single entry, so after 13 rounds the card is full and the points get added up.
Scoring well in Yatzy
- Chase the upper section early, a strong total there usually pays off with a bonus in the classic rules.
- Keep chance as a safety box for a roll that fits nowhere else.
- If a round goes badly, scratch a box you were unlikely to fill anyway.
