## What is Save Throw Yatzy?

Save Throw Yatzy is the traditional Yatzy dice game we all know – but with a twist…

As in all Yatzy games the player get 3 throws to get the best possible dice. However, in Save Throw Yatzy the player does not have to use all 3 throws in each turn.  If a player chooses only to uses 2 of the 3 throws, the player has saved 1 throw for later use. 

Thus next time the player has 3 throws + the 1 saved throw.

This simple rule – changes the Yatzy game dramatically making it much more a game of skills rather than chance. Now each player has to decide how many throws it is “worth” using in each turn, rather than always using 3 and hoping for the best.

Give it a try – let the stunning animation and graphics guide you through the game – it is much more fun than traditional Yatzy!!

### 4/5 — Ok?

*2021-07-06, version 3.0*

Please make more games

### 1/5 — No stars/HORRIBLE

*2019-07-07, version 2.2*

Just got this app. Started a game and it immediately was not giving me credit for the dice and I rolled. Rolled a large straight but would only let me take a small straight. Rolled again and it did the same thing but wouldn’t give me a full house but only the three fives that I got with that for House. Lousy game!

### 1/5 — Save throw Yatzy

*2019-04-07, version 2.2*

Fun game but when playing against the computer the computer seems to only care about getting the 100 bonus points. Computer plays stupidly.
