"...of the Yahtzee game is to score the most points by rolling five dice to make certain combinations. The dice can be rolled up to three times in a turn to try to make one of the thirteen possible scoring combinations. A game consists of thirteen rounds during which the player chooses which scoring combination is to be used in that round. Once a combination has been used in the game, it cannot be used again."

-Wkipedia, description of the Yahtzee dice game

EDIT: Technical details. GIMP 'Fractal trace' tool used to multiply the picture of one die. docs.gimp.org/en/plug-in-fractal-trace.html

good one Sami, is it that really 5 die, or have you performed magic with one? This is a fabulous shot either way... I haven't played Yahtzee in many, many years!

Then make sure you try also "Maxi Yahtzee" played with six dice! =) I tried to find good rules in English for it but couldn't. But in short it goes like this:

Upstairs you need to have 84 point (e.g. four of each). Then you have three straights 1-5, 2-6 and 1-6.

The biggest difference however is the idea to save the unused rolls. So, if you for example get small straight with one roll, you then can choose not to use the last two rolls, and instead get something like sticks as a reminder. Then later on during the game you can use those saved rolls when ever you want.

That version is much more exiting =)

lol I have been playing Yahtzee since I was a kid Sami and this should be their new advertising poster. It's incredible!!

Here's a song to go with it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6U8JlcB_BzA

Good song, Karen! =)

Make sure you try playing also Maxi Yahtzee www.maxiyahtzee.com/maxiyahtzeerules.html
Notice the rule saying: "Unused rolls are saved to the following turns." This really makes the game much more interesting, when one can for example pass some combinations entirely to collect rolls to try something better. You can use for example matches (sticks) to mark the collected unused rolls.

Thank you Sami. I will. It sounds like a good alternative to the regular rules.
