Harry Potter - Yatzy (Danish)

Harry Potter Yatzy is the classic game we all know it, but with a magical twist that makes it a bit more child-friendly. Instead of numbers, various miniatures from J.K. Rowling's universe are depicted – so there's a little less to think about, and it also goes a bit faster than the original.

The game involves each participant getting three rolls to get the dice to show as many of the same as possible or one of the other combinations listed on the block. The total sum is then recorded in the correct column on the block. The goal is to fill in boxes on the paper; otherwise, you get 0 points in the unfilled ones.

The game combines luck with a bit of strategy in a nice way and is a good place to start if the youngest are to learn a bit about probability or just have fun!

How to play Yatzy:

The classic yatzy is played with 5 dice.

A round is played by rolling the five dice and keeping the ones you want to use for this round's combination; however, each combination can only be used once. That is, if you have already had 5 of a kind, you cannot roll 5 of a kind again.

Next, you roll the remaining dice. You can roll a total of three times. When you hit a combination, you get the number of points shown on the used dice or, in special cases, the low (small straight) and the high (large straight), a fixed number of points. Additionally, if you achieve Yatzy, you get 50 points on top.

If you do not hit one of the combinations, which become fewer and fewer during the game, you must put a zero in front of one that is missing.

The "Chance" field is used when you have not collected a usable combination, and you count the points for the dice you ended up with. Yatzy is the combination where you have five of a kind, and this is the best combination in the game.

Combinations to collect during the game:

• 1's
• 2's
• 3's
