Five dice, one scorecard — and the same roll is worth wildly different things depending on which box you score it in.
Examples of dice, category and score:
| dice | category | score |
|---|---|---|
| 3, 3, 3, 4, 4 | full house | 17 |
| 3, 3, 3, 4, 4 | threes | 9 |
| 3, 3, 3, 4, 4 | fours | 8 |
| 3, 3, 3, 3, 3 | full house | 0 |
| 3, 3, 3, 3, 3 | Yahtzee | 50 |
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 | small straight | 15 |
| 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 | large straight | 20 |
| 1, 1, 2, 4, 4 | pair | 8 |
| 2, 3, 3, 4, 4 | two pairs | 14 |
| 1, 1, 1, 4, 5 | three of a kind | 3 |
| 6, 6, 6, 6, 2 | four of a kind | 24 |
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 | chance | 15 |
Five of a kind is not a full house.
