How to Play YahtzeeĪll players get 3 chances to roll the dice at their turn so as to score the highest total from the dice combinations rolled. The player who gets the highest total from the dice rolled, is the first one to go. This is where strategy comes in.The first player is chosen by rolling all 5 dice by each player. You'll have to decide when to sacrifice a box, or when to hold out and go big. If you're running out of time and you can't score for the boxes you have left, or if you don't want to use up a potentially high-scoring box with a measly roll, you can enter a zero in any slot.
Those are the basic rules of Yahtzee, but there's more to it. The point total for chance is the total of all dice. In that case, you'll fill in your chance slot. That means you're left with no useful combination. And let's say you roll three 3's on your second and third rolls. Let's say you decided to keep the 2 and the 6 from that first roll and go for your large straight, because you already got your 3's and your three of a kind on a previous turn. There's also a "Chance" slot on the score card. If you roll a 2 on that last roll, you'll enter a "12" in the threes slot or, if you would rather score for your four of kind, you could tally up the sum of the dice. On the third roll, you're aiming for one more 3 so you can get the maximum number of points for the combination, which is 15 (or, of course, a 50-point Yahtzee). If on that second roll you get, say, a 3 and a 5, you'll keep the 3. If on one turn, you roll a 2, three 3's and a 6 on the first roll, you might decide to keep the 3's and roll the other three dice again. This is where the similarity to draw poker comes in. You have three rolls on each turn to get the combination you want, and you can keep as many dice from each roll as you want.
Full house: Three of any number along with two of any number will get you 25 points.Four of a kind: Add up face values of all five dice.Three of a kind: Add up face values of all five dice.
