How do you keep score in Yahtzee?

Keeping score is rather simple as it depends on the category you are shooting to fill. For example, if you are going for 6’s, you count the number of dies that have the numeral 6 facing up, then multiply the 2 numbers — 6 x 3 = 18, and 18 would be your score.

For the lower section, you have to match the category and only 3 of a kind, 4 of a kind and chance do you have to add the dice together. All the other categories have set point totals when you achieve them.

Once you have filled in all your categories you add the points together and if they are high enough, add in the bonuses for each section. If the totals are not high enough, then you cannot add in those bonuses.

The player with the highest total wins.

What is the highest possible score in Yahtzee?

145 is the most you can get for the upper section. However, that depends on you rolling 6 5 of a kind or Yahtzees every time. Then you would get the 35 points total because your score was over 63 points.

The bottom section has the chance category, and that will influence your score considerably. It is possible to get 335 points if you are extremely lucky in your rolls. Generally, most people are not that lucky and if they were, plan your next vacation to include Las Vegas.

What is the lowest score in Yahtzee?

Remember, you only get 3 chances to score for each section. If you fail to reach a vacant category, you will lose out on those points. The only constants may be the upper section, but even then, you can score 0 in each of them.

Your lowest score would be whatever the chance section got if all the upper section categories were filled with 0s. In other words, if you get less than 10 points, cancel the Las Vegas vacation.

Is Yahtzee a skill or luck?
