Yahtzee Game Variations Rules / Instructions

COPYCAT YAHTZEE - rules submitted by Tru2105, edited by Admin

LEADER

Leader is just like a normal game of Yahtzee, however, the winner is not necessarily the player who has the most score at the end of the game.

In Leader, you score one game-point for every time that you end a game turn in the lead, and the winner is the player with the most game-points at the end of the game.

For example, in a three-player game, playerA scores 30, playerB scores 25 and playerC gets 40 on high straight on their first turn. PlayerC is therefore in the lead and gains one game point.

In turn two, playerA scores 10, playerB scores 29 in four of a kind and playerC scores just 2. The totals at this time are PlayerA: 40, PlayerB: 49, PlayerC: 42. So PlayerB is leading, so gains one game-point.

The winner at the end of the game is the player who has the most game-points, i.e. the player who has been ahead at the end of the most number of turns.

Reverse Sequence - submitted by Shipperbill

Starting with CHANCE players continue up the scoresheet in reverse with each successive roll. YAHTZEE is skipped in the sequence but a player scores it as yahtzee if he/she rolls one and returns to where he/she left off on the scoresheet. if a player scores out of sequence at anytime during the game......THEY MUST RESIGN.

TK's Yahtzee Golf (submitted by ToeKnee, edited by Kal)

Each roll in your game counts as one hole, where Yahtzee is considered as a 13-hole course.

You score for each hole is determined by your dice roll.

Scoring as follows:

-2 (Eagle): When you hold all of your dice after the first roll
-1 (Birdie): When you hold all of your dice after your second roll
0 (Par): When you place your score after three turns
Left-hand number side:
+1 (Bogey): For placing only 2 numbers in a number slot
+2 (Double-bogey): If you place only 1 number in a number slot
+3: If you place a zero in any number slot
Right-hand special side
+1 (Bogey): For placing a zero
-4 (Hole-in-one!): For scoring a yahtzee on your first roll
-3 (Albatross): For scoring a yahtzee at any other time
Chance is your mulligan.
