Yacht

Roll five dice to fill a scorecard of 12 boxes. After 12 rounds, the highest total wins.

Your turn

Tap Roll. Then tap any dice you want to keep, and roll the rest again. You get up to three rolls. Tap a held die again to release it.

Whenever you like, and after the third roll at the latest, tap a box on the scorecard to score your dice there. Your column shows what each open box would score. Every box is used exactly once, so sometimes you'll have to put a 0 in one.

The boxes

• Ones to Sixes: the total of the dice showing that number. Three fours in Fours score 12.
• Full house: three of one number and two of another. Scores the total of all five dice.
• Four of a kind: at least four dice the same. Scores those four dice.
• Little straight: 1-2-3-4-5. Scores 30.
• Big straight: 2-3-4-5-6. Scores 30.
• Choice: any dice. Scores the total of all five.
• Yacht: all five dice the same. Scores 50.

Tips

• Save Choice for a bad roll late in the game.
• Five of a kind is also four of a kind, but not a full house.
• Chasing a Yacht with three or four matching dice is often worth two more rolls.
