Yatzy 3.2

Yatzy is a dice game, developed by the Krystanix people. Even when you’ll be playing dice virtually, this game will give you emotions pretty much the same of those of playing dice in the real life. Specifically, the image of the dices is very realistic. It’s not so its behavior though.

This new edition of Yatzy offers two different game modes:

- Yatzy: In Yatzy you throw five dice up to three times and try to score as many points as possible in 13 different categories.

- Maxi Yatzy: Maxi Yatzy is played with six dice and additional categories to put points in. Most importantly, unused throws in one round will be saved for later rounds.

You can play both game modes either in Solitaire or Against Opponents. In Solitaire mode you play alone. In this mode you will be trying to beat the highest score. In Against Opponents you can play against up to three friends or computer opponents.

The categories in which you can put points every time you throw the dice are the following:

1. Ones

2. Twos

3. Threes

4. Fours

5. Fives

6. Sixes

7. Three of a Kind

8. Four of a Kind

9. Full House

10. Small Straight

11. Large Straight

12. Chance

13. Yatzy

In Maxi Yatzy some categories add to the previously mentioned. These new categories are the following:

1. One Pair

2. Two Pairs

3. Three Pairs

4. Five of a Kind

5. Cabin

6. House

7. Tower

8. Maxi Yatzy
