The classic five-dice game, with or without real dice
Yatzy is the well-known dice game with five dice and fifteen boxes to fill. On your turn you roll up to three times, keeping any dice you like, and then write your result in one free box – even if it scores zero. When every box is filled, the highest total wins.
Here you can play the whole game on one phone or tablet with up to six players: tap dice to hold them, and the sheet shows what each box would score. Prefer real dice? Switch to Score pad mode and just type in the points – the sums and the upper-section bonus are calculated automatically. Or print a blank Yatzy score sheet for the table.
How to use

- Tap Roll. Tap dice to hold them, then roll again – up to three rolls per turn.
