A number of related games under the Yahtzee brand have been produced. They all commonly use dice as the primary tool for game play, but all differ generally. As Yahtzee itself has been sold since 1954, the variants released over the years are more recent in comparison, with the oldest one, Triple Yahtzee, developed in 1972, eighteen years after the introduction of the parent game.
It also doubles the Three-of-a-Kind, Four-of-a-Kind, Small-Straight, and Large-Straight categories. Additionally, the Yahtzee has three slots. The first Yahtzee is given a base score of 50 points, a second Yahtzee has a base value of 100 points, and a third would be worth 200 points.
A Yahtzee occurs when all five dice are the same. If the player throws a Yahtzee and has already filled the Yahtzee box with a score of 50, they score a Yahtzee bonus and get an extra 100 points. However, if they throw a Yahtzee and have filled the Yahtzee category with a score of 0, they do not get a Yahtzee bonus. [4]
