About Yatzy
Yatzy is the much-loved Scandinavian dice game and a close cousin of Yahtzee. On GameBase the score sheet and the dice are on the same screen, so you can pass the iPad round the table or lay it down in the middle. You roll up to three times, hold the dice you want to keep and then choose one of the fifteen boxes.
The game works out the points for you and shows what your roll is worth in every free box. That way even the youngest can join in, and nobody has to hunt for a pencil. Score 63 points or more in the top section and you get a 50-point bonus.
How to play
- Choose the number of players and enter your names.
- Tap Roll. Tap the dice you want to hold, and roll again up to two more times.
- Tap a box on the score sheet to write in your points. You can also cross out a box with 0.
- When all fifteen boxes are filled, the player with the most points wins.
