Yatzy

About the game

Thirteen turns, thirteen lines on the card, and every line gets filled exactly once. On your turn you throw the dice, set aside the ones you like and throw the rest again. After the third throw, the result has to go somewhere.

That is where a bad roll hurts. You may have to burn a line you were saving for a Straight or a Full House. Reach 63 in the Ones-to-Sixes half and the card adds a 50-point bonus. A second five-of-a-kind adds 100. Biggest total wins.

How to play

• Throw all five dice, then freeze the ones you want and re-roll the others. Three throws per round is the limit.
• When you stop, pick one line on the scorecard. A used line is gone for good, so a weak roll may cost you a slot.
• The top half counts dice by face, Ones through Sixes. The bottom half pays for combos: Full House, Straights and Yatzy (five of a kind).
• Hit 63 on the top half and you collect 50 extra points. Roll another Yatzy after your first and it is worth 100 more.
