Yacht: glass dice thrown, two throws left Yacht hint: write 30 in Big Straight, with the reason Yacht in landscape: a completed card Yacht lesson one: keep what matches
The rules in a minute
Throw all five dice. You may keep any and re-roll the rest, twice. After your last roll, write the result on one empty line of the card. Upper lines (Aces to Sixes) add up matching dice; reach 63 there for a 35 point bonus. Lower lines pay for Choice, Four of a Kind, Full House, straights and Yacht, five of a kind. When all twelve lines are filled, the card is complete and the total is your score.
In the app
Solo score chase, a game against the computer, or two players Twelve categories and an upper-section bonus, with a preview of each line before you write it A coach hint that weighs the odds and explains its choice Hold, re-roll and undo before you commit Short lessons on holding, choosing a line, the bonus and risk A daily game with the same dice for everyone
Habits of good players Early on, chase the upper lines that make the 63 bonus reachable. A line you cannot fill is not wasted if you spend it on a poor roll. Keep pairs for a Full House or Four of a Kind; keep runs for straights. Previous Dots and BoxesAll games Next Liar's Dice
