Yatzy's Rules

In Yatzy, the aim is to score the most points by rolling the dice and choosing the right combinations. To play, you need 5 dice and a notepad to mark points.

The game's dice rotate among the players, and on their turn, each player has 3 throws with any number of dice. Players can decide which and how many of the dice they want to throw to match one of the game's combinations. You can see the different point-giving combinations below. Each combination can only be used once per player.

If a point cannot be placed because all the block's fields where the throw could be placed are occupied, 0 points are instead written in one of the other fields. The player chooses which field they fill with 0 points. Alternatively, the total number of points can be noted in "Chance".

Each field can only be used once. If a player scores a total of 63 points or more in the top section of the scorecard, they are awarded a bonus of 50 points.
