'''Yahtzee''' is a [[game]] played with five [[dice]] where different combinations of the dice yield different scores and placement. It is a game of both skill and chance and has been popular for many years. The name ''Yahtzee'' is trademarked by [[Hasbro]].
Each player has up to three rolls per turn. Between rolls a player may freeze one or more die.
Scoring consists of an Upper Level and a Lower Level. In the Upper Level only die of the same number (1 through 6) are scored, and can be zeroed out. If a player scores 63 or more points (equal to three dice of each number), a 35 point bonus is awarded.
The Lower Level consists of the following scoring combinations:
*3 of a kind: must have three dice of any number, scoring is the TOTAL amount rolled
*4 of a kind: must have four dice of any number, scoring is the TOTAL amount rolled
*Full House: like the poker hand, must have three dice of one number and two of another, scoring is 25 points
*Small Straight: must have four dice in consecutive order (1-2-3-4, 2-3-4-5, or 3-4-5-6), scoring is 30 points
*Large Straight: must have all five dice in consecutive order (1-2-3-4-5 or 2-3-4-5-6), scoring is 40 points
*Yahtzee: must have all five dice of the same number, scoring is 50 points; if another Yahtzee is rolled 100 points is awarded and the roll acts as a "Joker" for any Lower Level category or can be used for the same number in the Upper Level
*Chance: total of all dice rolled, no specific requirement (this is often used as a throwaway in order to try to fill another section)
