Ultimate Yahtzee PC CD Battle Yahtzee & Triple Yahtzee roll dice points game! Type: Game Platform: Windows Publisher: Hasbro Interactive Released: 1996 Media: CD ULTIMATE YAHTZEE Yahtzee. The name immediately brings fond memories to mind for just about everyone. It was only a matter of time before this classic found its way to PC screens, and with Ultimate Yahtzee, Hasbro has delivered not only the venerable dice game to gamers, but also four new variations. If you like dice games, your day has come.For those of you unfamiliar with Yahtzee, I recommend studying your 'human lifestyles manual' a little harder, or you're sure to be detected for the extraterrestrial you are. For those who really were raised in a cave, here's the rundown: Each player (two to four people are required for a game, but the computer will be glad to fill in any empty spaces) rolls five dice three times in an attempt to create combinations vaguely similar to those found in poker (four of a kind, straight, full house, that sort of thing). The ultimate combo is a 'Yahtzee', or all five dice the same. At the end of the round, all players' scores are added up, and the player with the most points wins. Unlike most board games (Monopoly, Scrabble, Clue) a whole lot of Yahtzee is based entirely on luck, a fact that adds a great deal of excitement to the game while preventing veteran players from kicking the crap out of newbies again and again.As stated before, Ultimate Yahtzee is collection of all the wacky Yahtzee variations that were released over the years. In addition to the standard or 'classic' Yahtzee, Ultimate Yahtzee also includes Triple Yahtzee (about the same as playing three games of Yahtzee at once), Pyramid Yahtzee (a four-sided dice variation that's a lot quicker to play than the basic game), Painted Yahtzee (Yahtzee with colors, very addictive) and Battle Yahtzee ( you get a chance to throw your dice at your opponents' combinations, guaranteed to start fights). All of the versions have a clean (if not particularly impressive) look and feel, and do an excellent job of retaining the original flavor of the game.For Windows (32-bit Systems) [*Please review compatibility/platform sections in 'What You Get']
