Yahtzee is a classic dice game played with 5 dice. Each player's turn consists of rolling the dice up to 3 times in hope of making 1 of 13 categories. Examples of categories are 3 of a kind, 4 of a kind, straight, full house, etc. Each player tries to fill in a score for each category, but this is not always possible. When all players have entered a score or a zero for all 13 categories, the game ends and total scores are compared.

One of the challenges in playing Yahtzee is deciding where to place a particular roll. Rolling three fives, for example, can be placed in either the "three of a kind" category or in the "fives." It takes careful thought to score big in Yahtzee.
