Rules
- Five dice and a score sheet; on your turn you roll the dice
- Up to three rolls a turn: KEEP the dice you want and roll the rest again
- You end your turn by scoring the dice in an empty box — every box is filled once
- If nothing fits, you must score 0 in a box
- Upper section: ones…sixes — the sum of the dice showing that number. 63 or more earns the bonus (Classic/Yacht +35, Scandinavian +50)
- Classic: three and four of a kind score all five dice · Full House 25 · Small Straight (4 in a row) 30 · Large Straight (5 in a row) 40 · Yatzy 50 · Chance the total
- Classic: a new Yatzy pays +100 only if your Yatzy box already holds 50; it goes into its own upper box if that is open, otherwise any open lower box at full value (if none is open, an upper box for 0)
- Scandinavian: one pair, two pairs, three and four of a kind count only the matching dice · Small Straight 1-2-3-4-5 = 15 · Large Straight 2-3-4-5-6 = 20 · Full House the total
- Yacht: Choice, Four of a Kind and Full House score all five dice · Small Straight 15 · Large Straight 30 · Yacht 50
- Generala: Escalera 20 · Full 30 · Póker 40 (each +5 when made on the turn's first roll) · Generala 50 · Doble Generala 100, only once the Generala box holds 50
- When every sheet is full the highest total wins
- The dice are sealed before the match: when it ends you can verify every roll yourself
- If you disconnect a bot plays your seat; take it back when you return
How to play
- Roll the dice
- Tap the dice you like to keep them, roll the rest up to two more times
- Tap a box on the sheet, tap it again to confirm
- When the sheets are full the highest score wins
Tips
- Three of each number in the upper section makes 63 — the key to the bonus
- Save Chance for a bad turn
- An early Yatzy makes every later one worth +100 (Classic)

Online Yatzy: the classic five-dice game
Yatzy is a classic dice game played with five dice and a score sheet. Each turn you may roll up to three times, keeping the dice you like and rolling the rest again, then you score the result in one empty box of your sheet. When every sheet is full the highest total wins. No download — play bots or friends right away in your browser.
The game is two decisions: which dice to keep, and which box to score them in. The moment you roll, the table shows what every empty box would be worth, so you can play your first match without memorising the scoring.
Classic, Scandinavian, Yacht or Generala
Whoever opens the table picks one of four score sheets. Classic is the 13-box sheet known in the US, the UK, France (Yams) and Germany; Scandinavian Yatzy has 15 boxes with one pair and two pairs and a +50 bonus; Yacht is the 12-box version Korea knows as 요트 다이스; Generala is Latin America's sheet with Escalera, Full and Póker.
The dice are sealed before the match starts: the table shows a fingerprint of a secret seed up front, reveals the seed at the end, and you can check every roll in your own browser. Nobody can touch the dice — not you, and not us.
