GAME SUMMARY
On a turn, roll the dice up to 3 times to get
the highest scoring combination for each of 13
categories. You may score after your first or second

To score, press the ARROW buttons to move the
arrow under a category in the upper or lower row.
Then press SELECT.
The game ends when all 13 categories have been
scored.
PLAYING THE GAME
GETTING STARTED
If no buttons are pressed for about 30 seconds, the
game will go into “sleep mode.” To “wake up” the
game, press ON.
To start a new game, press and hold NEW GAME.
The display will show Score 0, and ROLL will flash
as the game waits for your first roll.
TAKING A TURN
1. Press ROLL to begin a turn, and wait for the dice
to stop.
2. Press any of the 5 HOLD buttons to select
the dice you want to hold. A HOLD icon will be
displayed under each die you select.
3. Press ROLL again to reroll the dice that have
not been held. Note: To reroll a held die, just press
HOLD to release it.
4. After your third roll, you must select and enter
a score in the upper row or lower row. If you wish,
you may select and enter a score after your first or
second roll.
ENTERING A SCORE
1. Press the ARROW buttons to move the arrow
under the desired category. The Roll Value will
display the points you would score for that category.
Note: If you have die rolls remaining and decide to
roll again, press ROLL to leave the scoring mode.
2. Press SELECT to score your chosen category.
The Roll Value will then automatically be added to
your score. The arrow will stop flashing and move
to the next available category. Once you score in a
category, the category name will disappear and will
no longer be available.
3. You can score each category only once per
game. It may be possible to score points in any one
of several categories; for example, you could score
4 sixes in 3 Same (3-of-a-kind), 4 Same (4-of-a-
kind), Chance, or the Sixes category.
Scoring Zero: If your third roll earns no points for
any open category, you’re forced to score zero in
an open category of your choice.

YAHTZEE Bonus: Your first YAHTZEE earns 50
points, scored automatically under the word
“YAHTZEE.” Each additional YAHTZEE is worth 100
points; it will also earn you the value of the roll if
you can enter it in an appropriate category.
Example: If you roll a YAHTZEE of Sixes and the
Sixes category is open, you get 100 points + 30
bonus points for the value of the roll. If the Sixes
category is already closed, you can enter it in 3
Same, 4 Same, Full House or Chance. If none of
these are open, use your Joker.
Joker: If you roll a YAHTZEE and all appropriate
categories are already filled, use the Joker to score
it in the Small or Large Straight. The Joker bonus
is based on the category in which the YAHTZEE is
scored.
Chance: This is a catch-all category. If you can’t (or
don’t want to) score your roll in another category,
you can score in Chance. You’ll score the total of
the 5 dice you rolled.
LCD DISPLAY PROMPTS
Any flashing words or symbols on the display are
prompts telling you what your options are:
HOLD: Press the HOLD button(s) to hold the

Note: You may press the HOLD button again to
release a held die.
ROLL: You may ROLL the dice that are not held.

selected category and its roll value.
ENTER SCORE: You must enter a score in any open
category.
HIGH SCORE: Display the highest total score
when HIGH SCORE button is pressed. High score is
deleted if battery is removed.
ROLL VALUE: Displays points to be earned for the
category at the location of the arrow.
SUB-TOTAL: Displays sub-total of upper row only,
for determining if you qualify for the 35-point
bonus. (Bonus is awarded if you score 63 points or
more in the upper row.) The subtotal includes the
current roll value if scored in the location of the
flashing arrow.
JOKER: Tells you that you qualify for a Joker, and
must enter a score in the lower row.
BONUS: Tells you that you’ve just earned a 35-
point bonus for the upper row, or a 100-point
YAHTZEE bonus.
