TRADITIONAL GAME MODE:Traditional mode follows the rules of YAHTZEE very closely. Each turn allows up to 3 rolls & there are 13 turns in a game. Tap on the dice you want to keep after each roll & get maximum points by rolling at least 3 of a kind in each of the left scoring categories. If you score at least 63 points on the left, you get a 35 point bonus. Score in 3 of a kind, 4 of a kind, full house, small straight, long straight, Yahtzee & chance on the right. Score 50 points for your first Yahtzee & a 100 point bonus for every Yahtzee after that. Traditional mode has its own leaderboard.
SEQUENTIAL GAME MODE:A Sequential game is one where each score must be allocated in the following order:Left Side
- 1's to 6'sRight Side
- 3 of a Kind To ChanceWhen the game starts, all score categories are grayed out & disabled. After the first roll of each turn, the valid category for that turn is enabled & changed to white. After the 3 rolls for the turn are taken, the score must be allocated to the enabled category. The exception to this rule is if a Yahtzee is rolled. In this case, the score can be allocated to Yahtzee & the sequence is resumed on the next turn. Subsequent Yahtzees are awarded a 100 point bonus, but the score must still be applied to the categories in sequence. Sequential mode has its own leaderboard.
RUSSIAN ROULETTE GAME MODE:One roll per turn & then you must assign a score
- even if it has to be a zero somewhere. There is a strategy for maximizing your score
- can you figure it out? Russian Roulette mode has its own leaderboard too! Click the Mode button on the right of the action bar to toggle between Traditional & Russian Roulette modes.
SCORING:After each roll, all valid scores are highlighted in yellow so you can quickly decide where to apply the results. Where you place the score from each roll is up to you. There are thirteen turns of 3 rolls each per game. After each roll you can choose which dice to keep by touching them, then the remainder will be included in the next roll. At the end of the 3 rolls, you must assign the score before you can move on to the next turn. The first Yahtzee is worth 50 points and each subsequent Yahtzee will be rewarded with a 100 point bonus. If you score 63 or greater on the left side of the score card, you will get a 35 point bonus.
HIGH SCORES:If your score is one of the top ten, you will be prompted to save it in the high score list at the end of the game.

The latest update is terrible I do not like the bar in the middle measuring progress and I need to see on right hand side a full picture of large straight, small straight- not weird icons. Uninstalling
I usually have no complaints about this app. It's just like Yahtzee, easy to use and allows for multiple players. I like the multiple ways to play, too. Lately, though, while playing in the Plus mode, I sometimes roll the first roll of a turn, select what I want to save for the next roll, then roll again, but instead of rolling again, it puts a random zero in an open category, clears out what I saved and takes me to the next turn. Frustrating.
I like a lot of things about this game. The colors, the options and the automatic ranking of your high games. However, sometimes it's too predictable. Quite often I'll roll a full house on the first or second roll. Fairly odd if the numbers were truly random. If you hit the roll button to fast in succession you'll get the same number. And add 2 pair. It would get me out of a lot of jams.
11/01 @1957 CDT - Apparently now fixed! Allowed me to apply 2nd five of a kind to full straight. Back to 5 stars. 11/01/2021 - With the last update an error was made. According to the rules of Yahtzee, which this game is based on - the first time you roll five of of a kind, the score of 50 is entered into the five of a kind box. On each subsequent roll of the same number on each die, you get a 100 bonus and you should be able to enter the total of the die into any available open box (i.e. if it's sixes on each die: enter 30 in sixes, three or four of a kind or 25 in full house, 30 in small straight, 40 in large straight or 30 in chance). With this last update, you can no longer use that 2nd "Yahtzee" in the full house, small or large straight. Please fix this. Changing from 5 to 3 unless this can be fixed. Thank you. Aug 2021: I like several things about this game. The layout makes good use of the real estate of the display area on my phone (S21 Ultra); if you know how to play Yahtzee, you will have no trouble playing the game. I have not experienced any detrimental issues with the game. Best of all, the ads are not terribly intrusive and they don't last long. I don't think one has gone on longer than 30 seconds and some you can dismiss almost right away. As a result, I'm going to look for more games by this developer and will consider paying for Five Dice, mostly as a "thank you" for their work - not simply to stop the ads.
Solid game with multiple ways to play. UI could use some polish. I subtracted a star for the ads (I almost feel like I should have taken off 2). They pop up as soon as you finish your game. You can't even see your score till they are done and you can't cancel out. I get it, you gotta finance your project but come on, dont be like that. Otherwise, like I said very solid game. Great for pooping.
I was a HUGE fan of this game and played it way too much! But this update is horrible! That score counter in the middle of the screen is so distracting and I can't make it go away. You took away all of our personalization options and stick us with a messy cluttered screen :( maybe this is a good thing because I wasted way too much time on this.
Wow. Haven't played this in a while. Go to play again and it's an unholy mess. How do you enable the old interface? I assume this is a cosmetic change to try to attract new users, but I think you may be more successful in alienating existing users. If I find that you can't go back to the old interface it'll be the next app I delete. Shame as I've played literally thousands of games on this to pass the time. I now see you can't go back to the old interface... Bye.
This version is 10 steps backwards compared to the last version I had been playing for years. What happened to all the options in the settings to set up visual game to your liking, such as Dice at top, sound, etc. The game board is now to cluttered and confusing to look at casually. This is no longer my favorite game on my phone. Change for the sack of change ruined this app for me. I will be removing this app from my phone!!!!! Hopefully finding a more player friendly basic 5 Dice (Yatzee).
I've had this game for years and it's very enjoyable. I've liked the recent graphics update, it's a much cleaner look.
Simple "Yahtzee" app (same rules & bonuses) Roll totals show up in all relevant spaces which is kinda cool. Can play 2 players. I like this version, relaxing, straight forward & easy. Who needs all those bells & whistles anyway? Easy to start a new game if you don't like the way it's going...& leave the game. & NO ADS! Yay!
I am giving a 3 because the cosmetic changes are terrible you had a game that was simple. The simplicity was the draw. The new changes are terrible. Please put it back or make an offer to click for original. Likely will be deleting there's a long list of people saying the same thing.
Well.. . The app updated itself without any notice, question or permission. That's a very bad practice. The new interface is simpy horrible and causes head ache. There's no option to keep the "classic" or the (much loved) "retro" interface, so I'm uninstalling this long loved game with dismay.
Doesn't seem to work. Game starts with 5 dice rolled already, I select some die and it rolls Al 5 anyhow and I'm on the second roll... Ok. Start a new game, same die, same problem. Hope it gets fixed, it looks alright. Also sound glitched when I tried to select a die and made a *blip* like when I plug in a headphone jack and not a sound. Response to reply: No. Really. There's a problem. I selected two die and it rolled all die anyhow.
It was a fun game but I got sick and tired of not being able to see my score. As soon as the game is done, instead of being able to see your score, you get to watch an ad! There must be thousands of these yatzee games out there and I am quite sure there are some that will show you your score when the game is done!
This game is very good. You can play a game very quick as there's very little else going on to slow it down. I find that if I put a 0 for 4 of a kind because I didn't get something then the next roll is usually a 4 of a kind. Somewhat predictable actually. Also, after getting all 5 dice if you get it a second time you can use 5 of a kind as a large straight. So not sure about that one. It's good but it needs work. Edit: Good to know about the wildcard rule, I was unaware. Thx. I enjoy it a lot
Was... The best in the playstore... New updated VERSIOn(with Ads, ADS) DOWNGRADED TO 2STARS, CONFUSING COLOURS, LAYOUT... UNINSTALLED, PITY... Cannot play against a Bod
Overall the game is very enjoyable. However there are times the dice rolls are highly unlikely. For example I will hold 3 die and roll just 2, more times than I can count on the next 2 rolls the dice stay the same! That can be very frustrating and I think unlikely. But that's my only complaint.
Adictive! Its nice & clear for my failing eye sight. It's a great long-time loved game created close to original game. I like the simplicity, without things jumping around, but I do like the bright colors that are used to designate plays. My kind of game. Exciting, but I can play at my pace!! Thank you Five Dice!! 💖
Overall a decent dice game (don't say the "Y" word shhhhh! ) except for one continuing glitch. At random times it will "forget" one of the die you're holding to build, say, a straight, or any of suites and will re-roll it on your next spin. There is no way to tell when this glitch will appear and no indication until you hit spin. Very frustrating. Other than that, good game. If you can put up with the glitch (and it might not occur on your phone, i have a TERRIBLE phone ;) ).
This was a great game to play, that is until the most recent update. I liked the tiles on the top but now they have been moved to the bottom of the screen. Your hand partially blocks the tiles while playing. Also, having to sign into Google play before being allowed to play is bothersome as well. Goodbye Five Dice, it was fun but you have been uninstalled... **REPLY** Nowhere during normal gameplay does it say that Google play can be turned off in the settings.
It's a good minimal yahtzee app that works well and doesn't overwhelm you with ads. ~ When I'm stressed out or anxious, it helps me slow my thoughts down by giving me something to focus on that's not too mentally taxing, but requires enough attention to provide a diversion. Thank you 😊
It works well and has good interface. Ads don't stay on the screen during gameplay and can be closed. They only appear between games, so they are not annoying. There are different game modes.
All round the best classic 5 dice Yatzee game I could find, the devs add awesome enhancements regularly, you can even customize the layout for ease of play, and you can now play multiplayer with someone with the same app. Can play offline to avoid ads. Oh and no probs with randomization: out of 100+ games with best high score of 349, then my daughter played 5 times and got 3 Yatzees in one game...
Good 5 dice game. Includes a variety of game modes and statistics. Better that the other 5 dice games I've tried so far. Has ads but that's par for the course with free games. They haven't been too annoying for me yet.
Straight forward, great gameplay! Ads are short and only appear after every 2nd or 3rd game. It's a nice, quick game that's a good alternative to doomscrolling. And it has fun variations on a game I already loved!
I prefer the old Five Dice Paid, with a text interface. I can't use it because I need my display and font size to be larger than default and that affects this. I paid for that version and to use this one without ads I'll have to pay again. As it's not my fault the developer has stopped updating that one I'm not too pleased about that but there's not much I can do about it. It's probably still the best Yahtzee type app in the play store.
