Description: Classic Yahtzee game for 1 – 3 players. As it is a dice game, luck is required, but also the consideration of
probability and strategy. The application is a desktop version of the classic game, made in the middle of the last century, played with the classic
rules, except that the alternate, simplified "free choice" rule is used for the Yahtzee Joker. The advantage of a computer version: All scoring and
bonus calculation are done by the program.
The new version 1.1 gives the possibility to choose between the application rolling the dices for you and the usage of real dices (and then entering the
dice values); this latter option may be supplementary fun for children, especially in multi-player mode.
The application includes a link to the Yahtzee page of Wikipedia (where the game and all rules are explained in detail), a table with a short description
of the Upper and Lower section categories and their scoring, as well as a help text on how to use the application.
Change log:
Version 1.0 (March 2020): Original program.
