Yahtzee Online

Game Objective

The goal of Yahtzee is to score the highest number of points by rolling five dice to make certain combinations. The game consists of thirteen rounds, and after each round, the player chooses which scoring category to use for that round.

Gameplay

On each turn, you can roll the dice up to 3 times to try to make the best combination:

1. Roll all five dice.
2. After the first roll, you can set aside any dice you want to keep and roll the others again.
3. After the second roll, you can again set aside any dice (including those you didn't set aside before) and roll the rest once more.
4. After the third roll, you must choose a category to score in.

Strategy Tips
