I Want To Play Yahtzee For Free Online
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why won't you add rule-variations/replayable-games/any-other-feature? It would make the game much better.
A: We get a lot of requests from people that just want one tiny little feature added to a game. What they don't realize is that if we start implementing all the suggestions we get then the games will no longer be simple. The number one praise we get is that the interface is simple and uncluttered and it's easy to play. That's very much deliberate. There is no login, no loading screens, as few options as possible. We want to keep it as simple as possible, and that means each game only has one set of rules, you can't choose variations, we try to add as few controls as possible to the screen etc. So, don't feel bad if you make a suggestion and I deny it, we deny 99% of all suggestions.

- Yahtzee – This version of Yahtzee is simple but easy to pick up. It can be played against another human being if you choose. Farkle – For this dice game online, you need to roll dice and try to earn points the quickest by making the most combinations.
- In Yahtzee for Windows app, you get to play the classic dice game against other people online. On the surface, it seems like that old familiar game you’ve played for years.

- Yahtzee Online Game: Scoresheet Calculator, Solitaire, or Multiplayer This virtual dice game is based on the popular Yahtzee game, but also includes options for playing with your own dice (Yahtzee Scoresheet Calculator), playing solitaire, or playing multiplayer with up to 5 friends (some use it to play Yahtzee to see who pays the bill).
Q: Why can't I see my statistics on another computer?
Yacht is a classic dice game, dating back from 1938. The game is the predecessor of Yahtzee and has a lot of similarities to the Latin-American Generala, the Scandinavian Yatzy and the English game of Poker Dice. In this game, you have got 6 dice and the goal is to throw as much special combinations as possible. A turn starts with the first throw.
A: This goes back to simplicity again. We don't want people to have to login to the site. We don't want to keep passwords in a database and be responsible for them. Your statistics are stored in your browser, we don't store them anywhere. That means that as soon as you switch browsers you won't see the same statistics.
Q: Does this site use cookies and/or track people?
A: Yes, this site uses cookies. They are used for game purposes, like remembering your scores between rounds, but also to gather aggregate data on people's browsers, screen resolutions and more, which helps us figure out what we need to support. Finally they are also used for advertising purposes. A more detailed description of our cookie use can be found in our Privacy Policy, and you can always reach out and contact us if you're concerned about it.
Q: Do the computer players cheat? Are the games fixed?
A: No. In all the games the cards are dealt randomly at the start, and the computer players make their decisions based only on knowledge of their own hands, and knowledge of what has been played. Basically they use the same information as a human player would have available to them.
Q: I saw an offensive ad. Can you remove it?

Community Etiquette
There is really only one requirement of the site and community: please be civil to each other :) Players who are not civil may be suspended from chatting in games hall and games and/or removed from the community altogether in extreme cases.

| HOWEVER | if you want to share dirty jokes with your friends or share adult-talk, then start a new game and mark it as an 'adult only game' |
