The BEST Yatzy Player...Period. Finally, a visually clean and easy-to-use app for this popular dice game. No silly graphics, no annoying ads, and no requests for costly added features. We do not collect any personal data. It's just one low price for this "Smart Scoresheet" that anyone can play. Our game does not have complicated eye-straining graphics. A simple to use "smart sheet" allows you to focus on your strategy and play. "Play. Socialize. Repeat" is our motto. 1) Rules: This Yatzy game follows the official Yahtzee game rules that you play today. This includes the Joker Rule where players can obtain certain points for additional Yatzys. 2) Joker Rule: This rule applies to all Yatzys after a Yatzy score has already been used (50 or 0 points). If the corresponding Upper Section score has not been used, it must be used. If the corresponding Upper Section score has been used, the Yatzy acts like a "Joker" and any Lower Section score can be used. 3) How To Play: Each player should use their own device. Select the DICE icon to roll the dice up to 3 times per turn. After each roll, select any dice to save (dice will turn black). The green scores can be selected to choose a desired score for that round. 4) How to Start a New Game: Select the green trash icon to erase the game and to begin a new game. 5) Game Automation: This game's "Smart Scoresheet" will present and track all scoring options and add all the points. All you have to do is roll, repeat, and win!
