About this game

The Game of Yahtzee is an implementation of the classic dice game for between one and five players, there is no computer opponent.

The game plays and scores like any game of Yahtzee. It is entirely keyboard controlled so if a player rolls 5-5-5-1-2 and wants to try for a Yahtzee in 5's they enter 1 2 as the dice to re-roll. Each scoring opportunity is denoted by a letter so when the player's turn is done they nominate a category such as fives, full house, three of a kind etc by selecting the appropriate letter.
