You will need to familiarize yourself with the Yahtzee score sheet the first time you play. The dice are scored in a way that is similar to a poker hand. For example, you can score a full house, a pair of aces, or three of a kind. A Yahtzee is scored when all five dice show the same face.

• To decide who starts the game, each player rolls all five dice at once. The person with the highest total starts the game by rolling first.
