Yatzy Solitaire is a dice game similar to Yazee and Yacht. This is a simple and fast no-nonsense app with nothing to get in the way of playing the game. There are 15 turns, each with 3 rolls of 5 dice. At the end of each turn you choose an open slot to score your dice. The Upper slots are the first six slots. These slots score the sum of the dice that have the value of the selected slot. If the Upper total is 63 points or more, a bonus of 50 points is awarded. The lower section slots include Pair, Two Pair, 3 of a Kind, 4 of a Kind, Full House, Low Straight, High Straight, Chance, and Yatzy. When you roll a five of a kind, you get a Yatzy which is 50 points. The maximum possible score is 374. There is no joker rule in this game as in other variants. Play with the advisor to hone your strategy, and then play without the advisor to test your skills. Yatzy Solitaire provides in-depth statistics and game analysis to satisfy the most analytical player. You can also play with weighted dice to give the game an exciting twist.

Using their 6 dice rolled and shuffled randomly, each player must fill their scoring grid (12 x 12) for each number from 1 to 12 by rolling and setting aside the dice. Selecting dice for a number from 1 to 6 is done by selecting all single dice of the same number at the same time and then clicking on the single dice set aside button.  The selection of dice for a number 7 to 12 is done one pair of dice at a time (which gives this number by adding them) then by clicking on the button to put aside dice in pair. Detailed game information on how to play, dynamic instructions and move suggestions are included to ease game learning.
