Rules
- Each turn you roll five dice up to three times, keeping any you like between rolls, then score them in one of 13 rows. Every row is used once, so a game is 13 turns each.
- The top six rows score the total of one number: Ones, Twos, up to Sixes. Get 63 or more across them for a 35-point bonus.
- Three or four of a kind score the total of all five dice. A full house (three of one number and two of another) scores 25, a small straight (four in a row) 30, a large straight (five in a row) 40, and Chance takes any dice for their total.
- Five the same is a Yacht: 50 points. Every extra Yacht after that earns 100 more, and must be scored in its number's top row if it's free, otherwise any free bottom row at full value, otherwise 0 in a free top row.
- If you've played Yahtzee, you already know how: Yacht is the older game it resembles, played since at least 1938.
