Yahtzee

Yahtzee is a popular game in which players vie for the top score with various dice combinations. The game comes with five dice, a score sheet pad, and a dice cup.

Each player rolls the dice, three times each turn, to try to roll one of 13 dice combinations. Dice combinations are categories a dice roll might fall into, for example a straight might be a roll with the numbers one through five. A straight could also be a roll with all the numbers from two to six. When a roll is done the player chooses a combination based on the roll and writes the score on his or her score sheet. Once a score combination is used it can't be used again. When a player rolls five of the same he or she yells "Yahtzee". After the score sheet is filled, the score is totaled and the person with the highest score is the winner.
