Yahtzee scoring rules

The upper section scores the total of one number, so three 4s in Fours scores 12. Reach 63 or more in the upper section, the same as three of each number, and you earn a 35-point bonus. The lower section rewards poker-style combinations: three or four of a kind score the total of all dice, a full house 25, a small straight of four in a row 30, a large straight of five 40, five of a kind 50, and Chance takes any roll.

If you roll another Yahtzee after already scoring 50 in the Yahtzee box, you earn a 100-point bonus. Under the joker rules you must then use the matching upper box if it is empty; otherwise you can score any lower box at full value, such as 40 for a large straight. If those are all full, you must enter a zero in an upper box.

Upper bonus

63 points in Ones to Sixes earns +35.

Straights

1-2-3-4 is small (30); 2-3-4-5-6 is large (40).

Perfect game

The maximum possible score is 1,575 with 13 Yahtzees.

Yahtzee FAQ

What happens if I roll a Yahtzee but already scored 0 in the Yahtzee box?

You get no bonus, but the joker rules still apply, so the roll can count as a full house or a straight.

Do I have to use all three rolls?

No. You can score after the first or second roll if you like the dice.

Can a full house be five of a kind?

Only as a joker, when the Yahtzee box is already filled. Otherwise a full house needs three of one number and two of another.

How do I hold dice?

Tap a die after a roll to hold it. Held dice are outlined and stay put on the next roll. Tap again to release it.
