Yatzy Dice Game

Coded in Single Scoop Web Code Editor 🤓

Yatzy, originally marketed as "Yahtzee," was invented in the 1950s by a wealthy Canadian couple who played the game aboard their yacht, referring to it simply as "The Yacht Game." Entrepreneur Edwin S. Lowe later bought the rights and popularized it globally. The game draws heavily from traditional dice games like Poker Dice and Yacht, combining luck with probability management. Its core mechanic, rolling five dice up to three times to achieve specific scoring combinations like full houses and straights has inspired countless variations, including the Scandinavian favorite "Yatzy," which typically features slightly different scoring rules and a "forced order" variant for added difficulty.
