After you roll the dice three times, you can register a score in any of 13 categories, then the next round begins. Once you have scored in a category you can't use it again. The categories are as follows:

Upper_section">Upper sectionAces: 1 point for each one (ace)

Twos: 2 points for each two

Threes: 3 points for each three

Fours: 4 points for each four

Fives: 5 points for each five

Sixes: 6 points for each six

Upper section bonus: 35 points are awarded if all of the scores registered in the upper section add to 63 or more. Note that a 3 of a kind in each adds up to exactly 63.

Lower sectionIf you register in one of these without the required combination (except for Chance) it scores zero points.

Three of a kind: The sum of all the dice if at least three of them show the same number

Four of a kind: The sum of all the dice if at least four of them show the same number Full house: 25 points for three of a kind and a pair together

Small straight: 30 points if four of the dice are in numerical order (i.e. 1-2-3-4, 2-3-4-5 or 3-4-5-6)

Large straight: 40 points if all five dice are in numerical order (i.e. 1-2-3-4-5 or 2-3-4-5-6)

Chance: The sum of the dice. Often used if you can't score in anything else.

Yahtzee: 50 points if all five dice show the same number

Yahtzee bonus: If you get more than one Yahtzee, and the Yahtzee box was not discarded (scored zero), along with the score for whatever category you register it in, 100 bonus points are scored for a 2nd, 3rd and 4th Yahtzee in one game.

Note that bonuses don't count as scoring categories.

What is the best score in yahtzee?

The best possible score in Yahtzee is 1,575 points. This is achieved by rolling a Yahtzee (five of a kind) in all 13 turns, scoring the maximum of 50 points for each Yahtzee, and filling out the upper section with the highest possible scores. Additionally, players can earn bonus points for scoring multiple Yahtzees within the game. However, achieving this perfect score is virtually impossible in practice.


What is a tower in yahtzee?

In Yahtzee, a "tower" refers to a stack of dice, typically five, that are arranged vertically to represent a player's score for Yahtzee. When a player rolls five of a kind, they achieve a Yahtzee, and it can be visually represented by stacking the dice. The term highlights the significance of this rare and high-scoring outcome in the game. Players often celebrate achieving a tower as it signifies a strong position in the game.


When was Yahtzee created?

Yahtzee was created in 1956.


Can you cross out the yahtzee bonus box?

In Yahtzee, the bonus for scoring a Yahtzee can be crossed out if the player chooses not to take it, but this typically means the player would not receive the extra points for subsequent Yahtzees. However, the rules allow for flexibility, so if a player prefers to forgo the bonus, they can simply leave the box blank or mark it as crossed out. It's important to clarify any house rules before starting the game, as variations can exist.


When was Power Yahtzee created?

Power Yahtzee was created in 2007.
