SCORING:
After each roll, all valid scores are highlighted in yellow so you can quickly decide where to apply the results. Where you place the score from each roll is up to you. There are thirteen turns of 3 rolls each per game. After each roll you can choose which dice to keep by touching them, then the remainder will be included in the next roll. At the end of the 3 rolls, you must assign the score before you can move on to the next turn. The first Five Dice (5 of a kind) is worth 50 points and each subsequent Five Dice will be rewarded with a 100 point bonus. If you score 63 or greater on the left side of the score card, you will get a 35 point bonus.

HIGH SCORES:
If your score is one of the top ten, it will automatically be saved it in the high score list at the end of the game, & all scores are submitted to the Game Center leaderboard.

STATS:
Daily & All Time game stats are available via the stats viewing screen. Stats can be reset.

### 1/5 — Can’t connect to friends

*2026-02-19, version 5.3*

As above

### 1/5 — Ads

*2025-05-21, version 5.2*

What happened to this app there used to hardly be any ads on it now there are so many ads. It is so annoying.

### 5/5 — Best Yahtzee game

*2025-02-24, version 5.2*

My only gripe is they force you to look at a monopoly ad for 15 minutes before letting you play again. This is torture.  why?  It’s over the top. A few minutes ok but not 15.  Stop chasing good customers away.

### 2/5 — 30 second ad for a 15 second game

*2024-03-11, version 5.2*

It’s faster to close the app and reopen after every game

### 2/5 — I would Have Rated the Zappa 5 Stars, but ….

*2023-12-29, version 5.1*

I’ve had this app for a long time. I would have rated it 5 Stars until recently.

After the last update it now annoying bugs you EVERYTIME to either use Game Center or to sign into Game Center.

I’m 70 and I could give a flip about Game Center. I don't do online gaming, nor do I care to.

Game Center is disabled on my phone. So stop with the Game Center banners!

### 3/5 — No ads would be great

*2023-10-04, version 4.8*

Yep no ads would be great

### 5/5 — Closest Version of Real Yahtzee

*2023-09-30, version 4.8*

I’ve played this version from the App Store for years. It is much closer to the real game then any others I’ve tried. Clean and simple and I love that it keeps statistical history. I’ve upgraded to ad free for a small fee but it’s worth doing that for as often as I play. One annoying aspect is that if you really need a roll toward the end of a game the AI seems to get super strength against getting the roll needed. This has happened far more often to be coincidental. I’ve played thousands of games.

### 5/5 — Addictive fun!

*2023-07-03, version 4.8*

I have been playing for years.

### 5/5 — Fabulous Yahtzee

*2023-05-06, version 4.7*

Been playing this for years 
Great game app
Best score so far 613

### 2/5 — Random ad with sound

*2023-03-27, version 4.7*

Playing the game in silent then loud music starts up. An ad is pre loaded/running in the background.
