Play

The game follows the same rules as regular Yacht Dice.

Each player, on their turn, has 3 attempts to make the best dice hand they can, and score the value of the dice on the score sheet.

Players must roll 5 dice on their first turn, then either roll 1 or more, or, if they're happy with their score, submit their score to the sheet early.

Once a player has scored a category, they may not score that category again.

Scores

Each category scores different points:

Category	Points
Aces	Sum of dice with 1's
Twos	Sum of dice with 2's
Threes	Sum of dice with 3's
Fours	Sum of dice with 4's
Fives	Sum of dice with 5's
Sixes	Sum of dice with 6's
Bonus	+35, if Aces-Sixes total 63 or over
Choice	Sum of all dice
4-of-a-Kind	Sum of the 4 dice
Full House (A pair and a 3-of-a-Kind)	Sum of all dice
Small Straight (1-2-3-4-5)	+30
Large Straight (2-3-4-5-6)	+30
YACHT (5-of-a-Kind)	+50

If a player cannot score any category, they must choose one category to score 0 in.

House Rule

The player who isn't rolling wears a blindfold, and the player who is rolling takes their turn as normal, then announces the category they scored. This player may choose to lie. The blindfolded player then decides if the rolling player is telling the truth, and announces their decision.

The scoring differs slightly with the possibility of lying:

Rolling player	Blindfolded player	then...
is truthful	thinks it's the truth	Rolling player scores category as normal
is truthful	thinks it's a lie	Blindfolded player scores penalty as negative*
is lying	thinks it's the truth	Rolling player scores category as normal
is lying	thinks it's a lie	Rolling player scores category as negative
