RULES: https://gamerules.com/rules/yahtzee-dice-game/

The object of the game is to roll dice for scoring combination to get the highest total score. Give each player a score card. Each player rolls all 5 dice, the highest total goes first, then play proceeds clockwise. On your turn you roll the dice up to 3 times, stopping before that if desired. You roll the dice out of the cup. On your first roll you roll all 5 dice. Set any keepers aside. The second and 3rd rolls you can re-roll any or all of the dice from any previous roll, setting aside keepers when necessary. You may stop and score after any roll. After the 3rd roll you must score.

For each game there are 13 boxes. You must score a box with an appropriate score or a zero at the end of each turn. Fill in each box only once, in any order depending on your best scoring option.

Once a box is filled you cannot fill it again. A Yahtzee is unique. Getting 5 dice of the same number is a yahtzee. The first yahtzee you enter in the yahtzee box is worth 50 points. For each additional yahtzee you earn a bonus 100 points, but only if you scored a yahtzee in the yahtzee box and not a 0. When you score a bonus yahtzee, put a check in the yahtzee bonus box and take 1 bonus chip and fill in 1 of the 13 boxing on your scorepad.

In addition to the bonus points, you must fiull in a box with your bonus yahtzee. If your bonus yahtzee is in the upper section, score the total of all 5 dice in the appropriate box. If the appropriate box is already taken you score 0 in any other box. Or you may score the bonus yahtzee in the lower section. In the 3 or 4 of a kind or change box, put in the total of all 5 dice. In the Full house, small straight, large straight box, score the total points indicated on the scoresheet.

When every player has had their final turn, add up all the scores applying any bonuses and the player with the most points wins.
