Yahtzee has been one of the most popular dice games in the United States since its introduction in the 1950s. Today, over 50 million games are sold each year. The game was invented by an anonymous Canadian couple, who called it ‘The Yacht Game’ because they played it on their yacht with their friends. The best ‘hand’ in a game of Yahtzee is a five of a kind. The game is played with five dice, and if you get five dice all with the same number, then youve scored a ‘Yahtzee’.

Roll combinations to score points!

While luck plays a big role in Yahtzee, strategy makes a huge difference.You score each combination just once, and the number of different combinations you can score is equal to the number of turns in the game. This means that you have to make wise choices about when to score in each combination. Be careful what combinations you seek at each turn!
