Description

A clone of the real world game Yahtzee. It includes single color an multi color modes.
Role the five dice up to three times, with the option of keeping any of die the way they landed. The object is similar to draw poker. The player scores points based on matching certain patterns; matching a number (1-5 ones to 1-5 sixes. The "top six rows"), 3 of a kind, 4 of a kind, 5 of a kind (a Tali !), small strait (4 consecutive numbers), large strait (all consecutive), and full house (2 of a kind and 3 of a kind together). Ever final roll must be placed in a pattern slot, even if it does not match any pattern and no points are scored. Each slot can be used only once. There is also a bonus if the top six rows total 63 or more points and there is a chance pattern which just adds points equal to a final roll (presumably to get rid of a bad hand, or get the most points from a good hand if the pattern it matches is already filled). The Colors variation adds a 2 pair same color (2 pair flush), full house same color (2 pair full house), flush (all the same color), and removes 4 of a kind and small strait, and the scoring is slightly different. The Colors variation is a clone of the real world game, Kizmit.
