About the Kismet leaderboard
This board ranks completed games of Kismet by final score. Kismet is the 1964 'deluxe' challenger to Yahtzee, instantly recognizable by its colored pips: 1s and 6s are black, 2s and 5s are red, 3s and 4s are green - a game rated Medium where a good game scores 300+; the color rows and sum-plus-premium scoring run totals high. The current top score here is 440 by Anonymous.
How ranking works
- Only completed scorecards count, and every result is checked for a plausible score, roll count and time before it's listed.
- Ties break toward the faster finish, rewarding decisive play as well as big scores.
- Signed-in players keep a permanent name on the board and sync records across devices; guests can still post a display name.
- Switch between Today, This Week, This Month and All Time above to see recent form or lifetime bests.
What counts as a good Kismet score?
Scores vary a lot by variant and by dice, but here's a rough guide to aim for:
| Just learning | Finishing the card at all is the win - don't watch the total yet. |
|---|---|
| Casual player | A comfortable game that lands near the average. |
| Getting good | Beating 300 regularly by protecting bonuses and planning zeros. |
| Board contender | Well past 300 with a five-of-a-kind or two banked. |
The fastest way to climb this board isn't lucky dice - it's routing every roll to the row where it's worth most and taking your zeros where they hurt least.
