Basic Dice-rolling

Here's what you need to know about rolling, holding and rerolling the dice.

Rolling: After you choose a game from the menu, the dice will automatically "roll", then each one will beep and stop to reveal a number. (In Games, 2, 3 and 4, there are also WILD dice!)

Holding: After rolling, each die will briefly wait for you to do something. Hold any dice that you don't want to reroll by placing (or leaving) them together with their entire sides touching. See the example below.

Note: You can never hold a lone die; you must place at least two dice together to hold them.

Rerolling: To reroll any dice that you don't want to hold, separate them so they aren't touching any other dice. See the example below. Lone dice will automatically reroll after a short pause and a warning beep.

To force a faster roll, just press the button on a lone die.

After rerolling, hold any rerolled dice by lining them up next to any other dice.

You may "unhold" any dice by separating them.

Dice-rolling Example:

You decide to hold the two 4s by lining them up side-by-side. Then you separate the remaining three dice to reroll them.

Game I: Yahtzee Poker

Game Play

1. To start the first roll, press the button under "1" on the Game Menu.

2. When the dice stop rolling, place two or more together, if you wish, to hold them. Then separate any that you want to reroll. See the chart below for the combos to roll for, and what each one scores.

   Combo	Description	Icon	Points
   2 of a kind (1 pair)	two dice with the same number	2x	5
   3 of a kind	three dice with the same number	3x	10
   2 Pair	two of one number and two of another	2x 2x	15

   First Yahtzee	5 of a kind	Yahtzee!	50
   Additional Yahtzee	5 of a kind	Yahtzee!	100

   Note: If you want to score your first roll, separate one die, then line them up again to score.

3. Reroll any die up to two more times. Line up all five dice to score. The game will award the highest possible score for each combo.

   You may score for the same combo more than once.

   
   
   

4. You'll hear warning beeps 5 seconds before time runs out, then the dice will display and the game will end.

Game 2: Yahtzee Max

One Player

Object of the Game

Roll each die up to three times to score the most ones, twos, threes, fours, fives or sixes (the top row numbers in a classic Yahtzee score sheet).

Game Play

1. To start the first roll, press the button under "2" on the Game Menu.

2. When the dice stop rolling, place two or more together, if you wish, to hold them. Then separate any that you want to reroll.

   WILD dice represent any number, so always hold them! You can hold up to five WILD dice.

3. Reroll any die up to two more times to try for the highest score possible. After your last roll, line up all five dice to score.

4. Scoring: You'll score the highest number for your final roll, unless two different numbers appear on an equal number of dice (for example, two 1s and two 3s); in this case, you'll score for the lower number.

   If you roll a Yahtzee, you'll score for five of the number rolled.

   If you can't roll any numbers that you need by your third roll, you'll score zero.

   
   
   

5. The dice will now roll to get you started on scoring another number. A ✓ will appear on any numbers that you've already scored.

   
   
   

   Bonus: If you score 63 points, you'll earn a 35-point bonus!

6. Keep going until you've scored for all six top row numbers. The dice will then alternate between your score and the menu. On the menu, choose a game by pressing the button under the number.

4. The dice will now roll to get you started on your next Yahtzee. Keep going until you've scored three Yahtzees.

5. Scoring: After you've rolled three Yahtzees (or time runs out after 10 minutes), the game will end and your time in seconds will appear on the dice.

   
   
   

   Best score: After your first game, each game will begin by displaying your best time so far. This is the time to beat!
