Yahtzee with Buddies Dice Tips and Tricks: Make Smarter Rolls and Score More

Yahtzee with Buddies uses five dice and a scorecard with 13 scoring categories. Each turn gives you an initial roll and up to two additional rolls. Good decisions about which dice to keep can make a major difference to your final score.

Choose a Target Before the Next Roll

After the first roll, check which scoring category is realistic. Do not keep dice without a clear plan. If you are close to a useful combination, hold the dice that support it and reroll the rest.

Use Your Rerolls Carefully

• Keep matching dice when aiming for three or four of a kind.
• Keep a useful sequence when pursuing a straight.
• Do not chase a difficult combination if another category offers a safer score.
• Use a bonus roll only when another roll can improve your result.

Think About the Whole Scorecard

A strong turn is not always the one with the largest immediate score. Look at the categories you have not filled yet. Save difficult categories for turns when your dice naturally support them.

Avoid Scoring Too Early

You can stop rolling before using every available roll. However, do not submit a score until you have considered whether another roll could improve the result. Once you play a score, the turn is over.

Final Tip

Plan around the scorecard, not just the dice in front of you. For more board and mobile game guides, visit androidgameguides.com.
