YAHTZEE

Play the classic dice game YAHTZEE, against a computer opponent named Bill. The objective of the game is to get the most points by getting the right combinations of dice. In each turn a player may throw the dice three times, and can hold the dice he wants to keep to the side. E.g. if a player throws 6,6,2,3,1 he can choose to keep 6 and 6, and just throw the 2,3,1 dice again, to try to get as many sixes as possible. The available combinations are: Ones: Get as many ones as you can Twos: Get as many twos as you can Threes: Get as many threes as you can Fours: Get as many fours as you can Fives: Get as many fives as you can Sixes: Get as many sixes as you can If you get a total of 63 or higher from the above combinations you will get a bonus of 35 extra points. To get 63 points you need on average to get three of each combination, e.g. three ones, three twos etc. The other combinations are: Three of a kind: Get three of the same kind Four of a kind: Get four of the same kind Full house: Get two of the same kind and three of another kind Small straight: Get four in a row, e.g. 1,2,3,4 or 2,3,4,5 or 3,4,5,6 Large straight: Get 5 in a row, either 1,2,3,4,5 or 2,3,4,5,6 Chance: You can use anything for this, it's just a sum of your dice. Good when you don't have anything else. YAHTZEE: Five of a kind. This will always give you 50 points, no matter what number you get five of. Enjoy!
