How to play Yacht Dice
Choose Classic, 60s, or Daily. Daily opens from a link with ?daily=1. Each of the five dice has its own face stream from the UTC date, so the same holds roll the same faces for everyone until midnight. Replay as often as you like.
Press Roll. You get up to 3 rolls a turn. Tap a die to hold it; held dice sit higher and stay put on the next roll. Tap again to release. You can hold only while another roll remains.
Classic and Daily use one card of 13 categories, each used once: Ones through Sixes (the sum of that face), Three of a Kind and Four of a Kind (the total of all five dice when you have 3 or 4 or more of a kind), Full House (25), Small Straight (30 — four distinct faces in a run), Large Straight (40), Yacht (50), and Chance (the total of all five). There is no upper-section bonus.
After a roll, each open category shows the score it would take, or an em dash when the pattern misses. Tap one, confirm, and it locks. Zero is allowed and still uses the category. The game ends when the card is full. The total is your score.
60-Second Rush: the clock starts with Play and keeps running between turns. It pauses only while the tab is hidden. You still have 3 rolls and holds, but categories are not exclusive. Bank adds the single best pattern — Yacht, then Large Straight, then Small Straight, then Full House, then Four of a Kind, then Three of a Kind, otherwise the dice total — and the next turn starts immediately. Only points banked before zero count.
Ones through Sixes score the sum of that face, or 0 if it is missing. Three of a Kind scores the dice total with 3 or more of a kind, otherwise 0. Four of a Kind scores the dice total with 4 or more, otherwise 0. Full House is 25 for exactly three of one face and two of another (five of a kind is not a full house). Small Straight is 30 for four distinct faces in a run. Large Straight is 40 for five. Yacht is 50 for five of a kind. Chance is always the sum of all five dice. There is no upper-section bonus. A zero locks the category in Classic and Daily. 60-Second Rush banks one pattern per commit, in the order Yacht, Large Straight, Small Straight, Full House, Four of a Kind, Three of a Kind, then the dice sum, and adds it to the running total. Best score is saved on this device per mode. Daily also stores today’s score. Stats track games played, the average of finished scores, how many times Yacht scored 50, and the best streak of consecutive non-zero commits.
