The objective of YAHTZEE is to get as many points as possible by rolling five dice and getting certain combinations of dice.

Gameplay

In each turn a player may throw the dice up to three times. A player doesn't have to roll all five dice on the second and third throw of a round, he may put as many dice as he wants to the side and only throw the ones that don't have the numbers he's trying to get. For example, a player throws and gets 1,3,3,4,6. He decides he want to try for the large straight, 1,2,3,4,5. So, he puts 1,3,4 to the side and only throws 3 and 6 again, hoping to get 2 and 5.

In this game you click on the dice you want to keep. They will be moved down and will not be thrown the next time you press the 'Roll Dice' button. If you decide after the second throw in a turn that you don't want to keep the same dice before the third throw then you can click them again and they will move back to the table and be thrown in the third throw.

Upper section combinations

• Ones: Get as many ones as possible.
• Twos: Get as many twos as possible.
• Threes: Get as many threes as possible.
• Fours: Get as many fours as possible.
• Fives: Get as many fives as possible.
• Sixes: Get as many sixes as possible.

For the six combinations above the score for each of them is the sum of dice of the right kind. E.g. if you get 1,3,3,3,5 and you choose Threes you will get 3*3 = 9 points. The sum of all the above combinations is calculated and if it is 63 or more, the player will get a bonus of 35 points. On average a player needs three of each to reach 63, but it is not required to get three of each exactly, it is perfectly OK to have five sixes, and zero ones for example, as long as the sum is 63 or more the bonus will be awarded.

Lower section combinations

• Three of a kind: Get three dice with the same number. Points are the sum all dice (not just the three of a kind).
• Four of a kind: Get four dice with the same number. Points are the sum all dice (not just the four of a kind).
• Full house: Get three of a kind and a pair, e.g. 1,1,3,3,3 or 3,3,3,6,6. Scores 25 points.
• Small straight: Get four sequential dice, 1,2,3,4 or 2,3,4,5 or 3,4,5,6. Scores 30 points.
• Large straight: Get five sequential dice, 1,2,3,4,5 or 2,3,4,5,6. Scores 40 points.
• Chance: You can put anything into chance, it's basically like a garbage can when you don't have anything else you can use the dice for. The score is simply the sum of the dice.
• YAHTZEE: Five of a kind. Scores 50 points. You can optionally get multiple Yahtzees, see below for details.

Multiple Yahtzees

After months of requests from people about adding support for multiple Yahtzees I've finally added it.
You can toggle multiple Yahtzees on and off via the Options menu.
The rules around it are a bit complex, but I believe they are the right ones, at least according to http://www.yahtzee.org.uk/ (see section on Additional yahtzees). There are a couple of different cases:

1. You already have a Yahtzee: You get a 100 bonus points in the Yahtzee box, but you also have a joker, which means that you can choose another move for the Yahtzee you just got. If the number you got yahtzees with has not been filled out in the upper section, then you must choose that. E.g. if you get an additional Yahtzee with 2's, and you haven't filled out the 2's in the upper section then you must choose that, and get 10 points for it. If the upper section box is already filled then you can choose any of the lower region boxes, and they will be scored as normal. Yahtzee is a superset of 3 of a kind, 4 of a kind, full house and chance, but you can also choose small or large straight and will get the normal 30 and 40 points for those.
2. You've already put 0 in the Yahtzee box: In this case you get no 100 point bonus, but you do get a joker, and can choose your move following the rules described above for jokers.

Multiplayer

After years of only playing against the computer, you can now start playing against other people from all over the world. Click the 'Multiplayer' button next to your avatar and choose a player name to connect. Once connected, you can challenge or be challenged by other players.

Note: To keep things simple and even as possible, all multiplayer games allow multiple Yahtzees.

Strategy tips

Try to get the bonus. Focus on getting good throws with fives and sixes, then it won't matter if you put 0 in the ones or twos. You can always put in 0 for a combination if you don't have it, even if you have some other combination. E.g. if you had 2,3,4,5,6 and the only things you had left were Ones and Sixes, then it would be better to put 0 in Ones than to put only 6 in Sixes.

Maximum score

The maximum possible score without multiple Yahtzees is 375, and you would get that by getting 5 ones (5), 5 twos (10), 5 threes (15), 5 fours (20), 5 fives (25), 5 sixes (30), get the bonus points (35), five sixes (30) for three of a kind, five sixes (30) for four of a kind, get a full house (25), get a small straight (30), get a large straight (40), five sixes for chance (30), get a YAHTZEE (50). 5 + 10 + 15 + 20 + 25 + 30 + 35 + 30 + 30 + 25 + 30 + 40 + 30 + 50 = 375!

YAHTZEE vs. YATZY

In Scandinavia this game is called YATZY and has different rules, scoring and combinations. If you're from Denmark, Sweden or Iceland and are playing this game and thinking there's something wrong with it, then no, there's nothing wrong, they are just different rules. Check Wikipedia for a detailed list of the differences between the two games.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the game. If you have any questions or comments, send them to admin@cardgames.io.

Dancing Drums Slot Machine Review

Yahoo Play Games online, free

If you remember the popular slot 88 Fortunes, you will recognise the two Fu Babies above the reel grid. In Dancing Drums slots, they attempt to bring you good luck and vast riches accompanied by the sound of the cymbals. Above them you can see a big bowl which gets filled with coins every time you score a win.

Dancing Drums is an unusual video slot that takes the Asian theme and approaches it differently. The slot was released by Shuffle Master and can be found at SG-powered online casino sites. Good fortune is the main motif in Dancing Drums; it is expressed through the red and gold colours which dominate the screen and through the echoes of lucky drums as you march onward one spin after the other. The Dancing Drums online slot features 5 reels, 3 rows and offers 243 to 7,776 ways to win.

Further up above are the four jackpot values and the two smiling, cheerful Fu Babies. Hit the Spin button and you will get acquainted with the symbols on the reels: flowers, a lion, a drum, golden ingots, a golden object that looks like a pot and a golden ship. Symbols 9 through Ace will stand for the smaller payouts.

The player needs to match at least three icons on adjacent reels to receive a payout. The drum is the Scatter and the Wild is represented by an ornate Chinese letter. The Wild can be seen only on the middle reels, substituting for other base game symbols and boosting the number of winning combinations.

Dancing Drums is a slot with a balance, it isn’t crowded with features and it has an ambient soundtrack. Watch out for the Jackpot Bonus feature which is activated by random Wilds symbols on the screen. The feature offers you 12 gold coins which hide the jackpot symbols. You need to match three of the same jackpot to claim the prize. The jackpots are Mini, Minor, Major and Grand Jackpot, and the latter pays out the most - over 1,135 times your stake.

Also be attentive of your Scatters; three of the drum Scatter symbols will lead you into free spins mode. You will take advantage of one of five possible combinations: 15 free spins on a 5x3 reel set, 10 free spins on a 5x4 reel set, 5 free spins on a 5x5 reel set, 3 free spins on a 5x6 reel set or a mystery pick (one of the mentioned awarded randomly). Getting two more Scatters during free spins will add 3 additional freebies to the total count.

The Free Spins feature is where you can profit the most while playing Dancing Drums. Should you opt for the 3 free spins on the 5x6 grid, this would give you 7,776 ways to win. It may be a long wait until you hit a win, but once it happens it will be worth it. Dance to the beat of the lucky Chinese drums and benefit from a return rate of 96.06%.
