Spoiler: Rules

Coin flip (1d2) determines first player.
Three rolls of 5 dice per turn.
After each roll, player may "hold" any of the results of the five dice and not reroll those particular dice. (Dice held after roll 1 may be rerolled after roll 2).
After the third roll (or sooner), the player choose one of the 13 boxes to score on.

The boxes and bonuses:

• Ones-Sixes - Count and score only dice of that value.
  
• Upper Section Bonus -If Upper Section total is 63 or more, score +35.
  
• Three/Four of a Kind -[Three/Four] dice (or more) show the same value: Score total of all dice.
  
• Full House - Three of a kind and a different pair: Score 25
  
• Small/Large Straight - [Four/Five] dice in sequential order (e.g. 1-2-3-4-5): Score 30/40
  
• Yahtzee - Five dice show the same value: Score 50
  
• Chance - Score total of all dice
  
• Yahtzee Bonus - After first Yahtzee, subsequent Yahtzees score +50 each, and Joker Rule is applied.

JOKER rule: When a Yahtzee is rolled, and the Yahtzee box is filled, score the Upper Section box of that corresponding value. If filled, may score any lower section box for the advertised point value (even Full House or a Straight).

[yabbaguy]

I

won the coin flip

, so I'll go first, but I'll pause to make sure JDGA checks in first.

[yabbaguy]

Oh I plan to.

...let's see, not rolling 5-sided dice here, got it.

Original Roll String: 5d6

5 6-Sided Dice: (4, 2, 3, 3, 3) = 15

[yabbaguy]

Solid. I <3 keeping 2-3-4 for the myriad of straight possibilities, but I like the Yahtzee equity better.

Keeping the 333

.

Original Roll String: 2d6

2 6-Sided Dice: (1, 3) = 4

[yabbaguy]

Keep that 3 too, one more...!!!

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (6) = 6

[yabbaguy]

Yeah, that would've been boring to blast ahead on turn 1.

I will forsake the Four of a Kind with impunity once again and put

12 on Threes

.

[yabbaguy]

Original Roll String: 5d6

5 6-Sided Dice: (5, 5, 3, 1, 6) = 20

[yabbaguy]

Bit of a mess...

Let's try the two 5s.

Original Roll String: 3d6

3 6-Sided Dice: (1, 2, 4) = 7

[yabbaguy]

Oh boy that's stinky.

Let's try the same thing, two 5s, one more time.

Original Roll String: 3d6

3 6-Sided Dice: (6, 5, 5) = 16

[yabbaguy]

Hallelujah.

20 on Fives.

[yabbaguy]

Let's see if the dice stay this lopsided.

Original Roll String: 5d6

5 6-Sided Dice: (5, 5, 5, 4, 1) = 20

[yabbaguy]

Might as well attack Lower with that.

Keeping 5,5,5

Original Roll String: 2d6

2 6-Sided Dice: (3, 5) = 8

[yabbaguy]

Here we go again!!!

Keeping 5,5,5,5

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (5) = 5

[yabbaguy]

Yahtzee!!!

[yabbaguy]

Good reply.

Original Roll String: 5d6

5 6-Sided Dice: (5, 4, 6, 1, 1) = 17

[yabbaguy]

I'll say. I like the idea of straight hunting better than faffing about with the ones.

Keep 4-5-6

Original Roll String: 2d6

2 6-Sided Dice: (4, 5) = 9

[yabbaguy]

Oh god, NOW what???

I'm just gonna try it again. If I miss again, it's a pretty nice Chance roll.

Keep 4-5-6

Original Roll String: 2d6

2 6-Sided Dice: (6, 3) = 9

[yabbaguy]

Got it! 30 on Small Straight.

[yabbaguy]

Let's see what assorted nonsense I get this time...

Original Roll String: 5d6

5 6-Sided Dice: (2, 5, 6, 1, 1) = 15

[yabbaguy]

I am 8 up on the upper section, but I still am going to be a sissy and take the two 1s. Hoping for a House.

Keep 1-1

Original Roll String: 3d6

3 6-Sided Dice: (1, 4, 6) = 11

[yabbaguy]

Okay, doubles???

Keep 1-1-1

Original Roll String: 2d6

2 6-Sided Dice: (6, 1) = 7

[yabbaguy]

Well, I kinda need to take

Aces for 4

. I'm not gonna miss that 10 too much if my 4OAK blanks.

[yabbaguy]

Need to get SOMETHING down Low again.

Original Roll String: 5d6

5 6-Sided Dice: (6, 3, 3, 2, 3) = 17

[yabbaguy]

Christ.

Take the naked 6...no clear direction on this one.

Original Roll String: 4d6

4 6-Sided Dice: (1, 6, 1, 6) = 14

[yabbaguy]

Nice fluke!

But I'll take the devilish 6-6-6 in the hopes that House turns into 4OAK.

Original Roll String: 2d6

2 6-Sided Dice: (2, 3) = 5

[yabbaguy]

Not all that helpful.

23 on Three of a Kind.

[yabbaguy]

Original Roll String: 5d6

5 6-Sided Dice: (3, 1, 4, 6, 1) = 15

[yabbaguy]

It's the classic "two 1s plus assorted hodgepodge" roll.

Let's try 6-4...the ultimate noncommittal selection.

Original Roll String: 3d6

3 6-Sided Dice: (1, 3, 1) = 5

[yabbaguy]

Same thing?! >:(

6-4 one more time I guess...

Original Roll String: 3d6

3 6-Sided Dice: (2, 4, 3) = 9

[yabbaguy]

...19 just doesn't feel like enough after your solid Chance score.

8 on Fours

[yabbaguy]

Original Roll String: 5d6

5 6-Sided Dice: (3, 6, 4, 5, 1) = 19

[yabbaguy]

See, I immediately regret chipping my upper section advantage to +4, gives me a lot less wiggle room. But I'm going to recklessly pursue the Large Straight avenue.

3-4-5-6

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (2) = 2

[yabbaguy]

Beauty! Large Straight for 40.

[yabbaguy]

2s, 6s, 4OAK, House, Chance remaining...

Original Roll String: 5d6

5 6-Sided Dice: (4, 1, 2, 1, 2) = 10

[yabbaguy]

I'll be getting House or 2s on this turn.

Keep 1-1-2-2

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (3) = 3

[yabbaguy]

Eh.

I get one more try at filling up 1-1-2-2.

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (4) = 4

[yabbaguy]

Too bad.

4 on Twos.

[yabbaguy]

The dice are impartial, but sometimes it just doesn't feel that way. ^_^

Original Roll String: 5d6

5 6-Sided Dice: (2, 5, 5, 1, 6) = 19

[yabbaguy]

The 5s are tempting, but I really want my +35.

Keep the 6.

Original Roll String: 4d6

4 6-Sided Dice: (2, 2, 3, 4) = 11

[yabbaguy]

Bad luck again, but I have to stick with my 6.

Original Roll String: 4d6

4 6-Sided Dice: (2, 5, 4, 2) = 13

[yabbaguy]

19 on Chance then, I guess.

[yabbaguy]

6s, 4OAK, and the House left.

Original Roll String: 5d6

5 6-Sided Dice: (1, 6, 3, 3, 5) = 18

[yabbaguy]

Again we'll lock up a 6 to start.

Original Roll String: 4d6

4 6-Sided Dice: (3, 5, 5, 1) = 14

[yabbaguy]

I swear I know how this song goes.

One more time, just the 6.

Original Roll String: 4d6

4 6-Sided Dice: (4, 1, 3, 3) = 11

[yabbaguy]

Whooooooooooooosh.

Zero on Four of a Kind.

[yabbaguy]

I need those 6s! That Upper Section

should

have been locked up!

Original Roll String: 5d6

5 6-Sided Dice: (6, 3, 3, 4, 6) = 22

[yabbaguy]

Great! More to gain out of the Upper Section than keeping my two pair so...

Keep 6-6

Original Roll String: 3d6

3 6-Sided Dice: (4, 2, 5) = 11

[yabbaguy]

That's no good, I need a third for the 35 bonus.

Keep 6-6 again.

Original Roll String: 3d6

3 6-Sided Dice: (1, 4, 6) = 11

[yabbaguy]

Limped home on the third die!

18 on Sixes, gaining the +35.

You need bang-bang Yahtzees right now.

[yabbaguy]

Full House will get 25 or 0 to complete my game.

Original Roll String: 5d6

5 6-Sided Dice: (3, 6, 2, 4, 5) = 20

[yabbaguy]

Am I supposed to ditch everything or keep two arbitrary dice? Let's take a guess.

Ditch all.

Original Roll String: 5d6

5 6-Sided Dice: (1, 3, 5, 3, 2) = 14

[yabbaguy]

Keep the two 3s and see if something flukes.

Original Roll String: 3d6

3 6-Sided Dice: (6, 6, 4) = 16

[yabbaguy]

That came pretty close actually!

0 on Full House.

Those 6s for you were like petulant kids that wouldn't come when you tell them to. Indeed, good game!

I think MonkeyMan was interested in a rematch, I'll ask him if he's still interested.

[yabbaguy]

Nice! At least I have the advantage of playing second.

Original Roll String: 5d6

5 6-Sided Dice: (5, 1, 1, 5, 3) = 15

[yabbaguy]

Just a pair of 5s then.

Original Roll String: 3d6

3 6-Sided Dice: (6, 6, 3) = 15

[yabbaguy]

If I kept 5566, I'd have either a House or an awesome Chance box. But...I'll switch to the other and try to at least get a decent Chance box on a miss.

Keep 6-6

Original Roll String: 3d6

3 6-Sided Dice: (3, 6, 6) = 15

[yabbaguy]

Upper Section is off and running!

24 on Sixes.

[yabbaguy]

For serious?

MonkeyMan scores +100 for the extra Yahtzee, then Joker rules put 15 on Threes.

My turn!

Original Roll String: 5d6

5 6-Sided Dice: (5, 3, 5, 2, 5) = 20

[yabbaguy]

Keep 5-5-5.

Original Roll String: 2d6

2 6-Sided Dice: (6, 2) = 8

[yabbaguy]

Dang. One more try with 5-5-5.

Original Roll String: 2d6

2 6-Sided Dice: (5, 2) = 7

[yabbaguy]

What a tease!

22 on Four of a Kind.

[yabbaguy]

This Yahtzee needs to hurry up or I'm never going to beat you. xD

Original Roll String: 5d6

5 6-Sided Dice: (6, 1, 2, 3, 5) = 17

[yabbaguy]

Lovely, a Badugi just as I say that. Errrrrr...

Let's keep 1-2.

Original Roll String: 3d6

3 6-Sided Dice: (2, 2, 4) = 8

[yabbaguy]

The window opens a crack.

Keep 2-2-2.

Original Roll String: 2d6

2 6-Sided Dice: (1, 6) = 7

[yabbaguy]

It will be 6 on Twos.

[yabbaguy]

Original Roll String: 5d6

5 6-Sided Dice: (3, 6, 6, 2, 5) = 22

[yabbaguy]

I don't like committing to Lower Section directly off this, but I need to aggressively push for Yahtzees.

Keep 6-6

Original Roll String: 3d6

3 6-Sided Dice: (4, 5, 3) = 12

[yabbaguy]

*tire screech SFX*

U-turn!

Keep 6-5-4-3

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (6) = 6

[yabbaguy]

That would've been a pretty turnaround.

30 on Small Straight.

[yabbaguy]

Imitation, the sincerest form of flattery, and the surest way to lose when you're already behind. xD

Original Roll String: 5d6

5 6-Sided Dice: (4, 6, 3, 6, 4) = 23

[yabbaguy]

Keep 4-4

Original Roll String: 3d6

3 6-Sided Dice: (3, 3, 5) = 11

[yabbaguy]

There's three routes, including a 1/6 shot at a Large Straight, but I'm going to take the most cowardly of the three.

Keep 3-3

Original Roll String: 3d6

3 6-Sided Dice: (3, 2, 1) = 6

[yabbaguy]

I'm safe, anyway. 9 on Threes.

[yabbaguy]

Nothing to it, I really need to start hitting these Yahtzees.

Original Roll String: 5d6

5 6-Sided Dice: (4, 3, 1, 3, 1) = 12

[yabbaguy]

That's a screaming Full House try most days, but this is not most days.

Keep 1-1.

Original Roll String: 3d6

3 6-Sided Dice: (4, 6, 4) = 14

[yabbaguy]

Fiiiiiiiiiine.

Keep 1-1-4-4

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (5) = 5

[yabbaguy]

Missed, but my card isn't ruined; it's just progressing at a... slower pace.

2 on Ones.

[yabbaguy]

Here we go...

Original Roll String: 5d6

5 6-Sided Dice: (5, 5, 3, 4, 4) = 21

[yabbaguy]

We need Yahtzees, the strategy analysis really can't be too much cuter than that.

Keep 5-5.

Original Roll String: 3d6

3 6-Sided Dice: (4, 4, 1) = 9

[yabbaguy]

And again, seeing a 1/216 shot, we'll switch to a Full House.

Keep 4-4-5-5

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (6) = 6

[yabbaguy]

24 on Chance, that's great for that box at least!

[yabbaguy]

"Stop, stop, he's already dead!"

You score 10 on Twos and

another

+100!

Original Roll String: 5d6

5 6-Sided Dice: (1, 3, 6, 6, 3) = 19

[yabbaguy]

Keep 6-6

Original Roll String: 3d6

3 6-Sided Dice: (4, 5, 5) = 14

[yabbaguy]

Switch!

Keep 5-5.

Original Roll String: 3d6

3 6-Sided Dice: (4, 2, 6) = 12

[yabbaguy]

Oops, that's my 6! xD

But I'll take 10 on Fives.

I'll require three 4s to make my +35 and save my dignity, so at least the math is working out.

[yabbaguy]

You've filled Ones already.

[yabbaguy]

Here.

[yabbaguy]

Original Roll String: 5d6

5 6-Sided Dice: (2, 2, 5, 5, 1) = 15

[yabbaguy]

Keep 5-5

Original Roll String: 3d6

3 6-Sided Dice: (3, 5, 1) = 9

[yabbaguy]

Keep 5-5-5, this almost surely will improve my 3oaK score at least.

Original Roll String: 2d6

2 6-Sided Dice: (6, 5) = 11

[yabbaguy]

lmao.

But indeed I really improved it; 26 on Three of a Kind.

Yahtzee Bonuses should be +50, as I see it. I think if that had been the rule, I think you would've had an exciting win, rather than a blowout win.

[yabbaguy]

That's how Dice with Buddies does it (less the joker rule), and they've made games more exciting, so let's do it like that.

1=me first, 2=you first
