The objective of Yahtzee is to score points by rolling five dice
to make certain combinations. You get 13 turns in a game, and each turn consists of up to three rolls.
First Roll: Roll all five dice.
Second/Third Rolls: You may choose to hold any number of dice and re-roll the rest.
Scoring: After
your rolls, you must choose one of the 13 scoring categories to place your score.
If your roll doesn't fit any available category, you must score a zero in one of them.
Yahtzee Bonus: If you roll a Yahtzee (five of a kind) and have already scored 50 in the Yahtzee category, you get a 100-point bonus.
You must then score the roll in another category according to "Joker Rules".
Joker Rules: The sum of the dice can be scored in the appropriate Upper Section category.
If that is already filled, you can score it in any open Lower Section category.
Upper Bonus: Score 35 bonus points if the total of your Upper Section scores is 63 or more.
