Yamb is a classic turn-based strategy game played with five dice, available for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Each turn, you roll the dice up to three times, carefully choosing which dice to keep and which to re-roll, then assign the result to a combination on the score table. On your first roll, all five dice are thrown. From there, you decide which to hold and which to roll again. After your third roll — or whenever you feel ready — you must select a combination and record your score. Once the score table is fully filled, the player with the highest total wins. Choose from three game modes featuring 4, 6, or 8 columns for varying levels of challenge. Bonuses are automatically calculated throughout the game, keeping every session fresh and competitive. Features • Three game modes — play with 4, 6, or 8 columns • Auto and manual dice roll options • Multiplayer co-op with up to 8 players • Leaderboards via Game Center • Full game history • Custom player profiles • Challenge friends • Haptic feedback
