Description
Instructions: Use your mouse to play this game.
Yatzy Yahtzee Yams is the well known dice game under all three of its common names. You roll the dice, aim for scoring combinations and try to finish with more points than your opponent. Look for its neighbours in our Board Game section.
Dice games like this mix luck with real decisions, since you choose which dice to keep and which to throw again. That is why a round never feels quite the same twice. It is free, and just as easy to roll on a phone.
Rolling for combinations
On your turn, throw the dice and look at what you have. You can throw all of them again or only some, keeping the ones that help the combination you want. When you are done, score your result and your opponent takes a turn. Keep alternating until the game ends. Whoever has the most points wins. In the classic rules you get up to three throws per turn.
Scoring more points
- Keep pairs and triples early, they lead to the most combinations.
- Fill the hard categories while you still have turns left to try again.
- Taking a low score in a category you will not fill is better than a zero later.
