Yahtzy has been around for a very long time but a digital version of the dice-based game as made the jump to Android and you won’t be playing against AI opponents either. Instead you will be playing against other people thanks to the inclusion of online multiplayer.
For those of you not familiar with the game Yahtzy, basically the game consists of 13 rounds in which players roll a bunch of dice. Based on what is showing on those dice, you must choose one of the categories to place that roll into and you then earn the score associated with that particular category. Each category can only be used once though so you have to be selective when you pick them as when you near the end of the 13 rounds, if you roll the dice and it only fits in a category you’ve already used, then you earn zero points. The person with the most points at the end of the 13 rounds wins.
