How are my stats and progress saved?

Your progress is saved automatically from the first game you play. The only question is whether you want it tied to one device or synced across all of them.

Quick answer: As a guest, your stats and unfinished games save automatically in your browser on the device you're using - no signup needed. A free account adds cross-device syncing, so your high scores, averages and streaks follow you between your phone, tablet and computer.

Guest saving

Play as a guest and your high scores, per-game averages, Yahtzee counts and in-progress games are stored locally in your browser, with nothing to set up. Close the tab mid-game and come back later - your scorecard is where you left it. The trade-off is that this data lives on that one device, so clearing your browser data erases guest stats.

Syncing with an account

A free account does two things: it syncs your stats and records across every device you sign in on, and it keeps a permanent name on the leaderboard and daily boards. If you play on both a laptop and a phone, that's the reason to make one - a personal best rolled on one shows up on the other.

What gets tracked

For each game - from Yahtzee to Balut - you'll see games played, average score, best score, and streaks on the daily challenge. Since leaderboards rank by highest score, your best game is the number that matters most, and it's saved the moment you finish the card.

Is Yahtzee.now free?

Completely. All eight dice games, the daily challenge, the leaderboard and online multiplayer are free to play in your browser, with no download and no signup. An optional free account only adds cross-device stats and a permanent name on the leaderboard.

Does Yahtzee work on mobile?

Yes. Every game is built for touch: tap a die to hold it between rolls, tap again to release it, and tap a category to score. There's no app to download - it runs in your mobile browser, and you can add it to your home screen to play like an app.

Are the dice rolls fair?

Yes. Every roll comes from an unbiased random number generator, with each die independent and every face equally likely - the site never nudges dice for or against you. In the daily challenge and multiplayer, all players get the identical seeded rolls, so nobody can be luckier than anyone else.
