Object of the Game

By rolling various dice combinations, the players try to collect as many points as possible.

Setting Up a New Round

To begin with, enter your initials into the top line of the score sheet. Then determine a starting player. Take turns playing.

How to Play

When it's your turn, roll all 5 dice. You have up to 3 rolls in your turn. After each roll, you decide which dice you roll again and which you save. Dice, which you do not re-roll, are placed to one side, but may be used again later for another roll.

At the end of your turn, enter the result in your column on the score sheet, in a corresponding category of your choice. You do not have to keep to a certain order, but each category may only be used once.

In the lower section of the score sheet, it is compulsory to roll the exact symbols depicted.

If you are not able to note down any score, then enter "0 points" in one of your boxes.

If the sum in the top section totals more than 18, then you receive 10 bonus points. 5 identical dices give you Yatzy.

End of Game

As soon as each player has filled in all the boxes in their column, the game ends, and each player counts their points. The player to score the most points wins!
