Five larger common dice are used only in the first roll to be used by all players. It is played like the parent game, but its difference lies on the fact the players make decisions on the common rolls at the same time.Ī total of 25 dice are used in this game. Selling since 1974, Challenge Yahtzee was marketed as a "fast paced" variant of the parent game. The game is also included in GameHouse's Yahtzee game for Windows.

However, score cards for the game are still being sold (using the current logo) for owners of standard Yahtzee sets. Triple Yahtzee is no longer sold as a game set. Since rolling Yahtzees are rare and rolling a fourth one is even rarer, bonuses are not indicated in the scoresheets and are only added to the grand total at the end of the game.īecause of the scoring process, it is possible to score 2,250 points in a single game, which is the maximum 375 points in each of the three columns and excluding Yahtzee bonuses, which are added at the end. These chips are worth 100, 200, and 300 points respectively. The color of the chip, which may be colored white, blue, or red, depends on which column the Yahtzee has entered. They are awarded when all three Yahtzee boxes have scores in them and have been used either in the Upper and Lower Sections. Like in standard Yahtzee, there are differently colored chips for Bonus Yahtzees. However, when the total scores for all three columns are obtained, the scores in the second and third columns are doubled and tripled respectively, and then added to the subtotal in the first column to form the grand total for the entire game.

Combinations don't even have to appear three times in succession.Īll scores entered in the three columns are entered as is. Players score each of the thirteen Yahtzee categories three times, one for each of the scoresheet's columns marked "One," "Two," and "Three." However, players have the discretion of not only choosing the category at which to classify the current combination but also choosing which column the score would go. Triple Yahtzee, produced since 1972, is basically like playing three games of standard Yahtzee at the same time.
