Roll five dice, keep the ones you like and fill twelve boxes from Aces to Yacht. Plan your turns for the highest total.
Yacht Dice
The classic dice game Yacht. Roll five dice, keep the ones you like and roll the rest again, then write the dice into one of twelve boxes. Every box is used once, so each turn is a choice between taking the points now and saving a box for something better.
How to play
- Pick a difficulty and press Start a game.
- Roll all five dice.
- Tap the dice you want to keep, then roll the others again.
- Pick a box on the score sheet. Every empty box shows what the dice would score there; a box may
also take 0.
- After twelve turns every box is filled and the game ends.
Boxes
Box, Points
Aces to Sixes, The sum of the dice showing that number
Bonus, 35 when Aces to Sixes total 63 or more
Choice, The sum of all dice
Four of a Kind, The sum of all dice when four or more match
Full House, The sum of all dice for three of one number and two of another
Small Straight, 15 for four numbers in a row
Large Straight, 30 for five numbers in a row
Yacht, 50 for five of a kind
Difficulties
Normal, Hard
Rolls per turn, Up to 3, Up to 2
On Hard you get only one chance to keep and re-roll, which makes the bonus, the straights and the Yacht much harder to reach.
Score
- Your score is the final total. Higher is better; the best possible total is 323.
- Normal and Hard have separate leaderboards.
- The dice are rolled fairly by the game; there is no clock, so take your time.
Scoring guide
Every box shows its rule right on the score sheet, and the box worth the most for your current dice is marked with a star. The Scoring guide button (or G) opens a list of every box with an example roll and its points — open it any time, the game waits for you.

Tip
Chase the bonus early: three of each number in Aces to Sixes is exactly 63. A box that scores 0 is often the best place to throw away a bad roll.
