Alrightgames: Yahtzee

Yahtzee

1956 / Dice game / 2-10 players / USA

***

I'm done with buying games for a while, so it was nice to learn that I'd accidentally picked up another one already when buying a set of nice dice for the sake of having dice. Transcribe some messy score sheets and you've got everything you need to run the forgiving gauntlet of tactical dice rolls, where leaving things to chance is sometimes better than overthinking.

Like most games, traditional and modern, purpose-defeating online versions are a lot snappier.
