Fill each and every column of your score sheet first to win this board game with as many points as you can. Benjamin Richard 'Yahtzee' Croshaw (born 24 May 1983) is a British comedic writer, author, video game journalist, humorist, podcaster, and video game developer.He is best known for his video game review series Zero Punctuation, which he produces for The Escapist.

Originally created by the Hasbro-owned Milton Bradley, Yahtzee is a simple dice game that was included with 14 other dice games and sold for entertainment purposes. It caught on quick though and became a very popular game of chance, combining luck and strategy in a gambling game that is easy to grasp.

The Basics

Yahtzee can be played by any number of players, even just one. It is recommended for people aged 8 and above, but of course when gambling is introduced to the game, that changes significantly. These rules are leftover from Yahtzee’s time as a fun little dice game that all of the family could enjoy.

There is a high degree of luck involved with this game and it typically takes around 20 to 40 minutes to play through one session. The best way to play is with just a couple of players, and this is also one of the best ways to gamble on this game.

The Rules

The game begins with both players rolling the dice to try and get the highest score in order to go first. When it is your turn then you simply roll 5 dice. You can record the score that you get, or you can roll again, up to a total of three times. During these turns you can choose to roll one, more or all of the 5 dice. When you have rolled the maximum times then you must score the final roll — you can not choose any of the previous ones at this point — based on the category of your choice.

There are 13 different categories that you can score in, including five-of-a-kind, whereby all of the faces on the dice are the same, and full house, whereby you need three-of-a-kind and a pair (based on the faces of the dice). Your score is determined by how well your dice matches your chosen category.

Your total score is often the numerical accumulation of all of the dice faces. So, if your chosen category is three-of-a-kind and your dice show 5, 5, 5, 2 and 3, then your total score will be 20. However, some of the better categories score a set number of points. These include the Yahtzee category, which requires five dice of the same value and scores 50 points. The categories are always on display, split between the Upper Section and a Lower Section, so you can see the potential scores of these categories before you choose them.

Real Money Yahtzee

Although it may seem complicated at first, with many different scoring rules and categories, once you see the layout and once you play a few games, it’s very easy to understand. The best way to learn is therefore just to play, and you can do this for real money on BetOnline. If you’d prefer not to risk anything to begin with, you can also play for free, testing your luck risk-free before advancing to the real money games. BetOnline Yahtzee is very easy to play and is more or less self-explanatory, played with just a few clicks of a mouse.

Strategy

Yahtzee is heavily reliant on luck, and you can’t account for that, but there are some strategies you can use to give you an edge. After all, like every other game out there, those who understand it the most and play it more often, tend to end up on the winning side more frequently.

The main thing to consider is which category you choose. You should always ensure the odds are in your favour, always go for the most likely outcome. If you have a 3, 4 and 5 on your first roll, then your chances are slim that you’ll hit a 6 and a 7 on your second and third rolls. If you have three 3s and one roll to go, it’s not likely that you will hit a Yahtzee and get the full 5 out of 5 with just one more roll.

Sometimes it seems counterintuitive to aim low like this, but more often than not it will put you on the winning side. After all, it’s much better to have a three-of-a-kind or four-of-a-kind than it is to have aimed for something bigger and missed. It’s also much better to dismiss a near-impossible straight early on than to chase it and realise that you have no other choice but to keep aiming for the impossible.

You should also try to complete your upper section before you aim for your lower section, this will lead you to the bigger scores in the long run. What’s more, you should never underestimate the value of the bonus in the upper section, because this can be the difference between a win and a lose.

Yahtzee Rules

The objective of YAHTZEE is to get as many points as possible by rolling five dice and getting certain combinations of dice.

Gameplay

In each turn a player may throw the dice up to three times. A player doesn't have to roll all five dice on the second and third throw of a round, he may put as many dice as he wants to the side and only throw the ones that don't have the numbers he's trying to get. For example, a player throws and gets 1,3,3,4,6. He decides he want to try for the large straight, 1,2,3,4,5. So, he puts 1,3,4 to the side and only throws 3 and 6 again, hoping to get 2 and 5.

Yahtzee

In this game you click on the dice you want to keep. They will be moved down and will not be thrown the next time you press the 'Roll Dice' button. If you decide after the second throw in a turn that you don't want to keep the same dice before the third throw then you can click them again and they will move back to the table and be thrown in the third throw.

Upper section combinations

  • Ones: Get as many ones as possible.
  • Twos: Get as many twos as possible.
  • Threes: Get as many threes as possible.
  • Fours: Get as many fours as possible.
  • Fives: Get as many fives as possible.
  • Sixes: Get as many sixes as possible.

For the six combinations above the score for each of them is the sum of dice of the right kind. E.g. if you get 1,3,3,3,5 and you choose Threes you will get 3*3 = 9 points. The sum of all the above combinations is calculated and if it is 63 or more, the player will get a bonus of 35 points. On average a player needs three of each to reach 63, but it is not required to get three of each exactly, it is perfectly OK to have five sixes, and zero ones for example, as long as the sum is 63 or more the bonus will be awarded.

Lower section combinations

Real Yahtzee Online

  • Three of a kind: Get three dice with the same number. Points are the sum all dice (not just the three of a kind).
  • Four of a kind: Get four dice with the same number. Points are the sum all dice (not just the four of a kind).
  • Full house: Get three of a kind and a pair, e.g. 1,1,3,3,3 or 3,3,3,6,6. Scores 25 points.
  • Small straight: Get four sequential dice, 1,2,3,4 or 2,3,4,5 or 3,4,5,6. Scores 30 points.
  • Large straight: Get five sequential dice, 1,2,3,4,5 or 2,3,4,5,6. Scores 40 points.
  • Chance: You can put anything into chance, it's basically like a garbage can when you don't have anything else you can use the dice for. The score is simply the sum of the dice.
  • YAHTZEE: Five of a kind. Scores 50 points. You can optionally get multiple Yahtzees, see below for details.

Multiple Yahtzees

The rules around multiple Yahtzees are a bit complex. There are a couple of different cases:

  1. You already have a Yahtzee: You get a 100 bonus points in the Yahtzee box, but you also have a joker, which means that you can choose another move for the Yahtzee you just got. If the number you got yahtzees with has not been filled out in the upper section, then you must choose that. E.g. if you get an additional Yahtzee with 2's, and you haven't filled out the 2's in the upper section then you must choose that, and get 10 points for it. If the upper section box is already filled then you can choose any of the lower region boxes, and they will be scored as normal. Yahtzee is a superset of 3 of a kind, 4 of a kind, full house and chance, but you can also choose small or large straight and will get the normal 30 and 40 points for those.
  2. You've already put 0 in the Yahtzee box: In this case you get no 100 point bonus, but you do get a joker, and can choose your move following the rules described above for jokers.

Multiplayer

After years of only playing against the computer, you can now start playing against other people from all over the world. Click the 'Multiplayer' button next to your avatar and choose a player name to connect. Once connected, you can challenge or be challenged by other players.

Note: To keep things simple and even as possible, all multiplayer games allow multiple Yahtzees.

Strategy tips

Try to get the bonus. Focus on getting good throws with fives and sixes, then it won't matter if you put 0 in the ones or twos. You can always put in 0 for a combination if you don't have it, even if you have some other combination. E.g. if you had 2,3,4,5,6 and the only things you had left were Ones and Sixes, then it would be better to put 0 in Ones than to put only 6 in Sixes.
