Yatzy 2

In Yatzy 2, you compete for points by throwing five dice and filling out a special table. There's no need to run, shoot, or look for a way out — just throw the dice and think about where to write down the result. It's all about the numbers: the cooler the combination, the more points you get. The rules are simple and easy to remember, and then the real competition begins. You can play alone or with friends. Points are counted according to the table, and everyone has their own decisions to make. Sometimes it's better to take a risk, sometimes it's better to play it safe. During a game, you can roll the dice three times in a row, choosing which ones to keep and which ones to re-roll. The winner is the one who manages to score the most points in 13 rounds.

How to play

In Yatzy 2, you roll five dice and choose which numbers to enter in the table. At the beginning of your turn, roll all the dice. Look at what you rolled — for example, three fours and two other numbers. Want to keep the three fours? Great, just remove them from the table and roll the rest. You can roll twice more per turn. After rolling, choose the appropriate row in the table: there are "pairs," "triples," "full houses," "straights," and of course "Yatzy" — five identical numbers. If the combination you want is already taken or hasn't come up, decide where to write it down and what to reset. Sometimes you'll have to sacrifice a row to score more points later. Scoring is by category: the top row is for numbers 1 to 6, and the bottom row is for combinations. If you score more than 63 points in the top row, you get a bonus. The main thing is to think about when to take risks and when to play it safe. This is a board game with dice, where not only lucky rolls are important, but also how you distribute your points. Look for the best combinations of dice, fill in the table wisely, and win!
