Yacht




 



 



 



 



 

Yacht is played with five six-sided dice




## Score a single throw of dice in Yacht

The dice game Yacht is from the same family as Poker Dice, General and particularly Yahtzee, of which it is a precursor. 

In the game, five dice are rolled and the result can be entered in any of twelve categories. The score of a throw of the dice depends on category chosen.
