RulesYou have three rolls before you need to select a combination and after each roll you can choose the dice to be kept and which to throw again. To keep a dice, click on it. When you are happy with the outcome, or when the three throws have been used, you choose in the table where to put the combination of the dice. The value of the combination is written in the table, and when the game is over, the winner is the player, with the most points. We would like to make it clear that all types of tactical play ARE ALLOWED in Yatzy and the tourneys. Should arguements arise from people complaining about another players style of play then the instigator will be removed from the game table without warning. |
Game types and time |
![]() |
There are 3 different time settings to choose from. Red, yellow and green. The red clock means that the game is fast, here there is no time for a coffee break. If you choose the green setting, you have plenty of time to think about tactics, however you may have to wait for your opponents. Yellow setting is a middle solution. Choose a table with a time setting that suits you. If you often fail to complete all your lines, you should play at tables with green or even yellow clocks. On the other hand if you find yourself waiting for other users to complete, you may want to go for the red or yellow clocks. You will not be punished for leaving a game before the round is over, however if you are not done playing, the rest of your game sheet will be marked with 0, and you could end up losing ratings. If, however, you finished playing, you can easily leave and join another table. You receive ratings automatically when the round is over. Whether you see the result screen or not. |

TacticsThere are two main strategic angles: Get the highest number of points available and get enough points in the upper level to score a bonus. There's also the more obvious, overarching strategy of filling up the most valuable slots early so if you end up having to take any zeroes at the end of the game, you're out fewer points. One more strategy tip: Go for the Yahtzee! | ![]() |

Extra featuresHold more dice: Right click: If you right-click on a dice that you just rolled, all dice with the same pips will be held. Highlight opponents: You can click on your opponents' names on the score list to view their score and get it displayed next to your score. Watch: If you play in a room but you would rather like to watch, you can click on the eye button in the sidebar. Then you are automatically a spectator in the next round instead of a player | ![]() |

...backgammon with 8-face-dice and 12 dice yatzy, requires intuition and experience.
I play badly so that everyone else gets higher ratings. I'm that sort of guy. lol

Thoroughly enjoy this game! It's a lot of fun and i haven't wanted to explore more games. The only bad thing is it keeps me up too late.
