About Yahtzee
Yahtzee gives each player thirteen turns to fill a scorecard whose categories can be used only once. Keep promising dice between up to three rolls, weigh a safe score against a rare combination, and make the upper-section bonus part of the plan.
Rules in brief
How to play Yahtzee
- 01
Roll five dice, then hold any dice you want to keep and reroll the rest up to two more times.
- 02
Choose one unused score category after the final roll—or earlier if the result is already right—and record its value.
- 03
After all thirteen categories are filled, bonuses are applied and the highest total wins.
