How Our Score Is Calculated

Product Description

By entering your model number, you can make sure that this fits.
YAHTZEE IS A CLASSIC: Since its introduction in the 1950s, Yahtzee has been one of the most popular dice games, with over 50 million games sold annually. The style of our "Classic Yahtzee" is identical to the original.
WHAT'S IN A NAME: The game's name is also the name of the best hand; the chances of rolling a "Yahtzee" (5 OF A KIND) on your first roll are 1295 to 1, so it doesn't happen very often!
STRATEGIC: In Yahtzee, luck is important, but strategy is even more important. Each combination is only scored once, and the total number of possible combinations is equal to the number of turns in the game.
FAST-PACED: Each player has 13 turns to fill every box in the column with a score or a zero before the game ends. The player or team with the highest overall score (up to six games) wins!
FIVE WHITE DICE, A SCORE PAD, EIGHT BONUS CHIPS (FOUR RED, FOUR YELLOW), A STORAGE TABLE, AND AN INSTRUCTION SHEET ARE INCLUDED. Plus, the original aluminum rim is on our Dice cup! Ages 8+
Over fifty years ago, it was first introduced to the public.

Questions & Answers

It's a thin pad for score cards, according to one source. What is the approximate number of pages? Thank you very much! ?

The pad contains twenty sheets, but each page can hold six game scores, so it should be sufficient.

Is this a game that a four-year-old would enjoy?

It's a game that my four-year-old cat enjoys. "Mewwrack!" must be permitted. " as a different way of saying "yahtzee!" ", but, to be honest, we've all switched to this alternative exclamation because it's less pretentious and embarrassing than "yahtzee." Please feel free to use this alternate phrase in your own gameplay; I believe it will liberate you.

Is there a lining in the cup?

No, it's an aluminum cup, and it's the noisiest dice cup I've used in a long time; instead, I usually use the leather one from my copy of Stone Age.

Selected User Reviews For Classic Yahtzee, An Exciting Game Of Skill And Chance

Retro version that is poorly executed
3/5

Advertising that is deceptive. The description leads one to believe that this is a retro-styled version of the original. The description and image, on the other hand, are misleading. The original dice cup from 60 years ago was made of cardboard with simulated leather on the outside and felt lining on the inside; the one that comes with this "Classic" version is a much smaller version that is essentially a metal cup that has been painted brown. When you shake the dice inside, it makes an awful racket. Oh, and the white dice included aren't period correct; the original game featured red translucent dice with large white dots. This is a disappointing and poorly executed reboot of the first installment. br> Didn't anyone even bother to look up the original version of Yahtzee before deciding on this? It's going back to you.

Rip- off Don't make a purchase
3/5

The dice are shaken in a tin cup, which makes a lot of noise. It was much better after we lined it with felt. There are also five dice and a few score cards included. It cost around 25 cents in total. Purchase a set of score cards, five dice, and a plastic juice cup if you enjoy Yahtzee. Copies of the score cards should be made. The total cost is likely to be less than two dollars. For $11, that's all you get. a major rip-off off! I was astounded by what I read in the other reviews. All true!.

I've loved this game since I was a kid, so I gave it as a present
4/5

Although the box resembles the one I remember from my childhood, it is a different set; it contains only one cup, one set of die, and the cup lacks the felt that the original cups had to muffle the sound. In addition, unlike the original, this did not include four pencils. If you want to sell something as THE CLASSIC VERSION, I believe you'll need more than a printed box.

This classic is still going strong! I recently purchased Yahtzee for my 8-year-old granddaughter as a gift
5/5

I figured it would be fun to play with her since we were going to be together for a few weeks. She was ecstatic! This game is considered a classic for a reason. With some of the concepts (full house) and the strategy involved, there was a bit of a learning curve for her, but we played it nearly every day. Her younger sister, who was only four years old at the time, would sit with us and roll the dice for me. Sitting around a table playing games as a family is one of my favorite childhood memories, and now I can pass it on to the next generation with this Yahtzee set. Everything you'll need to play, including dice, shaker cup, and score pad, is included in the box. This is something I would strongly recommend.

Great game, but the box was damaged, so it was a letdown when it came time to give it as a gift The traditional Yahtzee game is the best and most enjoyable for all ages, including children
3/5

br>The main focus of this review is on the game box's poor quality. The box was always visibly damaged, as shown in the photo. It arrived in perfect condition, with no damage to the exterior Amazon box. My mother received this as a Mother's Day gift. It's a real bummer that she got a damaged item. Clearly, there is a problem with the seller.

Why? I'd like to play Yahtzee once more
3/5

The vintage look box drew me to this version, but WHY DID THEY MAKE THE BOX SUCH A LARGE SIZE? The original Yahtzee was half the size of this box; now I have a small Yahtzee set and a massive space hog. In addition, the die can is made of metal and is quite noisy. However, lining it with felt can help. The design is abominable.

This game is fantastic! What's not to like about Yahtzee? We enjoy torturing our adolescent son by forcing him to play video games with us
5/5

We knew this old standard was the right choice after seeing it in a bar one night; it's fun, quick, and awesome. Yes, I paid a little more for the retro design, but it includes a cup, whereas the other did not. It also appears to be more appealing. This game is one of my favorites. We also use it to go camping. If you choose to add things up on paper, it will be beneficial to your math skills. If you're afraid of math, you can always use the calculator on your phone.

What can I say except that it was a lot of fun
5/5

This is yet another classic. This game is fantastic in every way. The one who isn't The good news is that there aren't enough score sheets to last very long if you like to pass the time by playing for long periods of time; the creators could easily throw in another pad of sheets and not lose any money. Replacement pads are expensive, so I glued four sheets together in a square pattern, scanned them, and cut them into singles for pennies on the dollar, but that doesn't take away from how much fun this game is. On the plus side, there's a lot of fun to be had. The disadvantage is the high cost of score sheets.
