Objective

Yahtzee consists of thirteen rounds. Each player gets a turn per round. On your turn roll your dice and score the roll on the corresponding round, i.e. on round 5 score your dice in the “Game #5” column on the score card. The objective of the game is to collect as many points as possible through dice combinations rolled. In multiplayer, the player with the greatest total points at the end of the game is the winner.

How to Play Yahtzee

Each turn gives a player 3 opportunities to roll the dice in order to score the highest number of points from dice combinations. After 3 rolls, mark your score or a zero on your score card in the corresponding column. You may stop after the first roll if you are satisfied with the outcome.

First Roll: Roll all five dice. Either you may stop your turn here and mark your points or set aside dice which are "keepers" and roll again.

Second Roll: You may roll any or all of the dice from the first roll. You need not declare which combination you are attempting to roll for as it may change after the second roll. After the second roll you may stop and score yourself or roll again.

Third Roll: Again, you may roll any or all of the five dice. After this roll you must score yourself or mark a zero. After marking your score, your turn is over, and play moves left.
