Scoring

After You Roll

When you are finished rolling, decide which category you would like to place your score.  For each game, there are 13 categories and a bonus Yahtzee area. You must select one of these on each turn.  If you have no valid play you must take a zero in one of the categories.  You can choose to take a zero on a category even if you can score in another.  You can only choose a category once during a game, except the bonus Yahtzee, it may be selected as many times as you get a Yahtzee in a game, although it will only become active after your first Yahtzee.  Fill in each category only once in any order, depending on your best scoring option.

To play Yahtzee you have to score the best combinations of five dice from a range including the best combinations of the following values:
LEFT COLUMN SCORING
Aces (ones) through Sixes:	Scores a total of all like dice rolled.
Left column bonus (35 pts.):	If your left column totals 63pts +
RIGHT COLUMN SCORING
3 of a kind (total of all five dice):
4 of a kind (total of all five dice:):
Full House (25 pts.):
Small Straight (30 pts.):
Large Straight (40 pts.):
Yahtzee (5 of a kind - 50 pts.):
Chance & Bonus Yahtzee
Chance:	Total of all dice added together.
Bonus Yahtzee (100 pts.):	Available after first Yahtzee.

NOTICE:  If you have a Yahtzee already and get another Yahtzee, you will automatically have 100 points added to your score and can select any area to put your score in that is left open.  For example, if you get a Bonus Yahtzee you can use it to score a Large Straight.

The game ends when you have completely filled in all 13 categories.  The game will automatically have totaled your score.
