The Story Yahtzee

The game of Yahtzee is built on the throwing of dice. Its story begins in the 50's in Canada.

He registered the copyright, changed a little the rules and came up with a new name Yahtzee. Trying to make the game popular, Lowe threw themed parties on his yacht and word of the game quickly spread across the continent. 
To date, several tens of millions of sets of the game have already been sold. The first computer version of Yahtzee appeared in the 80's on Apple computers, a few years later the version became available to users of all computer systems.

Game Dice Combinations

Some of the names of the game dice combinations will be familiar to poker fans, but it will not be difficult for a new player to learn them.

Three of a Kind you rolled three identical dice. For example, you rolled three fives, two and one. The points in Yahtzee are counted this way: 

3 * 5 + 2 + 1 = 18 This is the number you write on the Scorecard.

Four of a Kind you rolled four identical dice.
Full House is a combination of three dice of one number and two dice of another number. The sum of the dice is not counted; you are awarded 25 points for obtaining this combination.
Small Straight you collect four game dice in a numerical sequence. For example, 3, 4, 5, 6 and any other game dice. 

Or 2, 3, 4, 5. Such combination will bring you 30 points.

Large Straight here you need to collect five game dice in a numerical sequence. For example, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. This combination will give you 40 points.
Yahtzee The luckiest roll of the game dice. All five values are the same. You get 50 points for the first Yahtzee in the game and 100 points for each additional Yahtzee. But if your Yahtzee box is already set to zero, you do not get the bonus. You can use the combination in the other cells at the bottom of the Scorecard Yahtzee: Full House, Large Straight, Small Straight and get the corresponding number of points.
Chance is a cell that you can fill with any combination if you don't want to fill another cell. You can use Chance and record the sum of all rolled dice. For example, 

you rolled dice 2, 2, 3, 5, 6.  No special combinations are visible and you record the number 18 in the chance box. 
           2 + 2 + 3 + 5 + 6 = 18

Rules of the game Yahtzee. 

Decide on the turn sequence. Roll the dice and count the sum. The one, whose sum of points is greater, starts. 
The game uses five game dice. 
You can roll the dice three times in one round. 
There are a total of 13 rounds in the game. 
The game fills your Scorecard Yahtzee. 
Each round you choose a cell that you can fill with the combinations you roll. 
If the combination does not fit in the Scorecard cell, you put a zero. 
Each cell can be filled only once during the entire game. 
By the end of the game all Scorecard cells must be filled. 
Roll the game dice for the first time. Look carefully at the matched values and determine what combinations you can make. On any roll, you can reset the game dice and leave new dice. For example, you rolled the game dice: 1, 3, 4, 5, 6. You can leave them, this Small Straight combination will bring 30 points. But you can roll a one to get a deuce and make a Large Straight and get 40 points. 
Make your second roll. If you get the combination, you can finish the round and add your points to the Scorecard. However, you can always keep a couple of dice and roll the rest in the hope of luck. And if you still can't make a combination, there is one last roll. 
You can always roll any number of game dice. 
If you are satisfied with the dice from the first roll, you may not roll the next two dice, but rather record the combination in your Scorecard. For example, if you have five of the same dice on your first roll, it is foolish to make a move on. Scorecard your first Yahtzee. 
If you are not satisfied with the resulting combination of game dice, you can write it in any box. For example, you got 4, 4, 3, 5, 6. You can write down a pair of fours, but this will only give you eight points. It is better to write the combination in cell 1, this will give you zero points, but leave the possibility of filling cell 4 more successfully. 
After the last roll and score, fill in the Scorecard box and move on to the next round. 
If you collect more than 63 points at the top of the Scorecard, you will receive an additional bonus of 35 points. 
If you are a good luck favorite and have discarded two Yahtzee's for the game, you will be awarded 100 points for the second one. 
At the end of the game, the total number of points is tallied, plus bonuses, if any. 
The player with the most points for the entire game wins.

Strategy

The game Yahtzee combines strategy and luck, you must first try to collect all available bonus points in the game. To do this, at the top of the Scorecard dial an amount greater than 63, and try to get Yahtzee. A player without bonus points rarely wins a Yahtzee. 
First try to fill the bottom of the Scorecard with Yahtzee, there should be no zeros there. 
If you can't collect Yahtzee, fill the top part of the Scorecard with maximum values. 
Statistically, the highest probability exists of throwing out Three of a Kind, try to collect three of the same numbers. On this basis, you can build a Full House or write a good value in the top cell. The essence of the strategy: you need to leave a pair after the throw, if the next throw gets another pair, leave the older one. The probability of collecting three identical dice following this strategy is about 80%. 
After the first roll, if there are no pairs, you may leave only fives and sixes. You will be able to get the maximum average score. 
Always leave identical dice after the roll. 
If you roll three dice in numerical sequence, leave them, try to collect Small Straight or Large Straight. 
If you roll a Small Straight, keep it and roll one dice, try to collect a Large Straight. 
Try to collect the maximum values in cells 5 and 6 on the top of the Scorecard. 
If you get an unsuccessful combination, record it in box 1. 
Use the Chance box wisely; do not write values below 25 points. 

Chances of Success

The difficulty of the game Yahtzee is that you have to fill all the cells of Scorecard Yahtzee only once. After all, it is so frustrating if you have already written zero into the Yahtzee cell and you get five of the same dice. Or you are left in Scorecard to fill the cell 6 on the top field, and you throw out four fives. So take your time and write down unsuccessful combinations in the first cells 1 and 2 first. Try to take your chances on the first rounds of the game when you have a lot of free cells!

Yahtzee is an extremely addictive game. When you learn all the rules you can improve your skills in single player or in a company game. Play, take your chances, and get your Yahtzee!
