Classic Yahtzee: An Exciting Game Of Skill And Chance is a dice game. It has the same styling as the original game with dice cup, five dice, scorepad and bonus chips. Roll classic dice combinations, like Full House, Large Straight, and Yahtzee! (five-of-a-kind) to score points!
Yahtzee has been one of the most popular dice games in the United States since its introduction in the 1950s. Today, over 50 million games are sold each year. The game was invented by an anonymous Canadian couple, who called it 'The Yacht Game' because they played it on their yacht with their friends. The best 'hand' in a game of Yahtzee is a five of a kind. The game is played with five dice, and if you get five dice all with the same number, then you’ve scored a 'Yahtzee'. The name of the game is also the name of the best hand. The odds of rolling a Yahtzee on your first roll are 1295 to 1, so you won’t see that happen too often–at least not on a single roll.
Recommended for ages 8+ years.

Product Description
OBJECT OF THE GAME: The object of YAHTZEE is to obtain the highest score for one or more games. The player with the highest total score for all games (up to 6 games) wins.
Contents:
- 1 DICE CUP
- 1 SET OF 5 YAHTZEE DICE
- 1 YAHTZEE SCORE PAD
- YAHTZEE BONUS CHIPS
Each player in turn places all five dice in the cup, shakes the cup and rolls out the dice. Each turn consists of a maximum of three rolls. The first roll must be made with all five dice. If the player chooses to roll a second and, if desired, a third time, he may pick up any or all the dice and roll again. It is the skillful use of these two optional rolls of the dice that can turn an unlucky first or second roll into a high-scoring turn. A score must be entered after the last roll in the appropriate box or a zero entered in a box of the player’s choice.
Roll combinations to score points!
While luck plays a big role in Yahtzee, strategy makes a huge difference.You score each combination just once, and the number of different combinations you can score is equal to the number of turns in the game. This means that you have to make wise choices about when to score in each combination. Be careful what combinations you seek at each turn!
