How To Play

Roll the dice up to 3 times per turn to get the highest scoring combination for each of the 13 categories at the bottom of the screen. You may score after your first or second roll; you must score after your third roll. Applying the score for a roll ends the turn. You can score each category only once per game. The game ends when all 13 categories have been scored. Below are the game controls:

Roll the dice

Press the '#' key to roll the five dice at the top of the screen.

Lock the dice

Press '1' thru '5' to hold the respective die at the top of the screen. The word LOCK will appear under each die you select.

Entering a score

Use the directional pad to cycle through the 13 scoring categories. As you highlight each category the move value for the current roll will be displayed. Press the '*' key to score your chosen category.

Total Score

Your current score total will be displayed adjacent to the word SCORE in the upper right hand side of the screen.

While you are playing, press the 'CLR' key to bring up the pause menu. The options available on the pause menu are: Resume Game, New Game, High Scores, Instructions, Quit, and About.

Tips * YAHTZEE: 5 of a kind. Earn 50 points for your first YAHTZEE, and 100 points for each YAHTZEE after that. * Small Straight: Any four consecutive dice. * Full House: Two of any kind plus three of any kind. * Scoring Zero: If your third roll earns no points for any open category, you're forced to score zero in an open category of your choice. * Chance: If you can't score your roll in another category, you can score in chance. You'll score the total of the five rolled dice.
