How to Play Yacht
Yacht is a dice game where you roll five dice to make combinations and score points. Over 12 rounds you fill one box of the score sheet per round, aiming for the highest total.
How a round works Flow
1
Press “Roll the dice” to roll all five.
2
Tap the dice you want to keep (tap again to release).
3
Re-roll the dice you didn’t keep. You can roll up to 3 times per round.
4
Pick one empty box on the score sheet to fill in. You may also score 0 in a box you didn’t make.

Tips for a high score Tips
- The 35-point bonus is big — aim for three of each number in the upper section (63 in total).
- Choice takes anything, so it’s your safety net. Save it for when you get stuck instead of using it early.
- When nothing works out, take a 0 in a low box like Aces, or in Yacht, to limit the damage.
