How to Play

Beginner’s Guide:

Step 1: Download and install “Yatzy GO! Classic Dice Game” from your app store, then launch the app and select your preferred game mode (Single-player is best for beginners).
Step 2: Tap the “Roll Dice” button, then select the dice you want to re-roll by tapping them. Repeat this process up to three times per turn, planning your combinations strategically.
Step 3: Tap the “Score” button to record your points for the current round based on the best scoring combination you’ve achieved. Continue rolling and scoring over 13 rounds to see your final total.

Pro Tips:

Always score Three of a Kind or better in the Three of a Kind/Yatzy category, even if you have a potentially better scoring option elsewhere.
Save the Yahtzee (five-of-a-kind) for the Yatzy (five-of-a-kind) category itself, as this is often the highest scoring slot and worth 50 points plus bonus depending on the version.
Strategically save high-value categories like Full House, Four of a Kind, and Small Straight until you have the exact combination needed, as these can’t be retroactively scored.
