Yatzy

Yatzy is the beloved dice game of luck and tactics, free to play online with no download and no sign-up. Roll five dice, hold the ones you want, and fill your scorecard for the highest total. A relaxing solo challenge to beat your own best score on phone or desktop.

How to play

• Roll all five dice to begin your turn.
• Tap any dice you want to keep, then roll the rest — up to three rolls per turn.
• When you are happy, bank the hand in one open row of the scorecard.
• Upper rows score the total of matching numbers; reach 63 there for a bonus.
• Lower rows reward combinations like a full house, straights and Yatzy (five alike).
• Every row is used exactly once — fill them all for your grand total.

Chase the 35-point upper bonus early by banking threes-of-a-kind in the number rows, since three of each usually reaches the 63 threshold. Keep the flexible Chance row and the low number rows as a safety net for a bad roll rather than wasting a valuable combination slot on it.
