Which dice game should you play?
Match the game to your mood - here's a quick steer:
Best if you're brand new
Start with Yahtzee or Yatzy. Both teach the core roll-hold-score rhythm behind the whole family, and their bonuses reward exactly the habits that make you a better player everywhere else.
Best for deep strategy
Maxi Yatzy hands you six dice and 20 categories, including Three Pairs, Villa and Tower. With a 100-point bonus riding on the upper section, every hold decision matters.
Best for a quick five minutes
Reach for Generala or Yacht - lean scorecards of 11 and 12 categories, fixed prizes, and rounds that fly by.
Best if you want a real challenge
Balut and Triple Yahtzee humble even strong players - one with 28 rounds of unavoidable trade-offs, the other with 39 cells and a times-three column you dare not waste.
Classic
The commercial classics - Yahtzee itself, its triple-scorecard big brother, and Yacht, the 1938 original the whole family grew from.
Nordic Yatzy
The Scandinavian branch - pair categories, pip-scored straights and full houses, and a six-dice giant with the deepest scorecard in the family.
World Variants
How the rest of the world plays five dice - South America's Generala, the colour-coded Kismet, and the Danish-Filipino marathon Balut.
