Classic Yatzy

🎮 How to Play

Classic Yatzy is a dice-rolling game where strategy meets luck! On your turn, roll five dice up to three times. After each roll, choose which dice to keep ("hold") and which to re-roll. Aim for high-scoring combinations like three-of-a-kind, full house, or the coveted Yatzy (all five dice matching). After your third roll (or sooner), pick a scoring category and record your points. The game ends when all categories are filled, and the player with the highest total wins!

🕹️ Controls

• Mouse/Touchscreen: Click/tap dice to hold or release them between rolls. Select scoring categories by clicking/tapping.
• Keyboard (Desktop): Use number keys (1-5) to toggle dice hold. Press Enter to confirm rolls or selections.
• Mobile: Swipe up to roll, tap dice to hold, and tap categories to score.
• Shortcuts: Spacebar for quick re-roll (if allowed).

🎯 Objectives

Score the most points by filling all 13 categories on your scoresheet. Short-term, aim for high-value combinations like straights or Yatzy. Long-term, strategize to secure the upper section bonus (63+ points in 1s-6s) for a 50-point boost. Balance risk—sometimes settling for a low score is wiser than chasing a risky combo. The winner is the player with the highest total after all categories are filled!

💡 Pro Tips

• Prioritize the Upper Bonus: Focus on scoring 63+ in 1s-6s early for the 50-point bonus.
• Risk vs. Reward: Chase Yatzy early when you have rolls to spare, but play safe later.
• Flexible Strategy: Adapt to your rolls—don’t force a combo if dice won’t cooperate.
• Category Savvy: Save hard-to-get categories (like large straight) for later turns.
• Block Opponents: In multiplayer, sometimes take a lower score to deny rivals key categories.
