If a subsequent Yahtzee is received, then the player can go for a 'Double Yahtzee,' which is an additional 100 points. This is scored as 30 points.Ī large straight is a sequence of 5 dice, and is scored as 40 points.Ĭhance is the sum total of all the dice, and can be used when no other play seems good.Ī Yahtzee is five of a kind. The example below is a 3 of a kind, which will total 10 points.Ī full house consists of a pair and a three of a kind, and receives 25 points.Ī small straight is a sequence of 4 dice. Scores in the three or four of a kind box are the sum total of all the dice that have been rolled, assuming that there are three or four of the same dice in the roll. To get at or above 63, aim for 3 of a kind for each of the upper boxes. If the sum of all the upper boxes is 63 or greater, the player receives an additional bonus of 35. For example, if a roll consists of 1, 2, 3, 3, 4, the score for the Threes box will be 6, because you landed two 3s, which would total 6. Scores in the upper box are based on the die number of the box multiplied by the number of times it appears in the roll. Only the dice that are active will be rolled again.Īfter each roll, the tentative scores are visible on the board. Not all dice need to be rolled on each successive roll. The player can roll up to three times per play. During each play, the player tries to roll to get the highest score they can. There are a total of 13 plays that each player gets before the game is over. For what it is, a good job here.The winner of the game is the player that scores the highest number of points. The style is consistent as well, it is minimal but it has an inviting and acceptable cartoonish feel that screams this game is for everyone. They did use the space that they have very efficiently. Sheets, however, are clean and efficient. There are little elements like bombs, locks, keys and other things like that but overall not much to it. There is really no art to be had as this is generally a themeless game. The package itself is quality to, a lower price point for a nice package. Game after game, each path had its own pros and cons and kept everyone thinking. That could have easily happened here because of having to make such key decisions about what paths to take, but it doesn’t. People take this for granted but it is very hard to get right. By broken, we mean there is one clear path to victory that is exponentially better than any other one. Roll and Writes are very hard to get right because if you are out of balance even one bit, things fall short and games break. That is not the case here, this Dizzle review gives higher marks in this area because the dice selection and strategy that goes along with that make for a great player interaction mechanic. These games are often criticized as “multi-player solitaire” because you have your own sheet and you do your own thing with very light interaction. Player Interaction ( 7 out of 10)ĭizzle’s player interaction is very solid, especially for a roll-n-write game. Many paths to victory do help with this though. Nothing changes, besides the sheet, so that hurts the effort to want to play over and over again. One starts to gets stale after 2 – 5 games so even with 4 different types, there is still not too much play to be had. This helps keep the game fresh, but at the end of the day it is still only 4 sheets. Once type of game sheet would limit your dramatically on fun and because of this, the game comes with 4 different “levels” of gameplay. The lowest marks for this Dizzle review goes to replayability. Things can shift dramatically and no specific path to victory is better than the other, so you are constantly on your toes. Because this isn’t like anything you have played before and because it has a good mix of player interaction and game play, all these things together make for a fun experience. There is nothing too ground breaking about it but it is balanced and well thought out across the board. – CATEGORY BREAKDOWN – Fun ( 7 out of 10)ĭizzle is a solid roll-n-write.
