Yacht is a classic dice game, dating back from 1938. The game is the predecessor of Yahtzee and has a lot of similarities to the Latin-American Generala, the Scandinavian Yatzy and the English game of Poker Dice. In this game, you have got 6 dice and the goal is to throw as much special combinations as possible. A turn starts with the first throw. After this throw you can choose which dice you want to lock for your combination, and you can throw the other dice for a second time. From this throw you can again lock some dice and then you can make a final throw. After this throw you can choose which combination you get in the scorecard.
Try to go for the higher combinations first. If you don't have a good combination at the end of your turn, make sure to put it on the lower combinations as they are worth less points.
How to play:
Use you mouse/finger and follow the instructions on the screen.
About the creator:
Yacht was created by Codethislab. They are well known for all their classic games on Poki, like Uno Online, Foosball and Master Checkers.

Each player in turn tries to score the highest possible amount for each of the twelve categories on the score sheet. In each turn a player has up to three throws rolling the dice, setting aside any they wish to use for a category and rolling the remainder. They do not have to use all three throws and may stop after the first or second. Players must fill in a score for a category after each turn but once it is used they may not change it. Categories may be filled in any order.
After each player has had twelve turns and all the categories on the score sheet have been filled, the scores are totalled, and the player with the highest total, wins the game.
1 Ones Score one point for each 1 thrown. Maximum of 5 points. 2 Twos Score two points for each 2 thrown. Maximum of 10 points. 3 Threes Score three points for each 3 thrown. Maximum of 15 points. 4 Fours Score four points for each 4 thrown. Maximum of 20 points. 5 Fives Score five points for each 5 thrown. Maximum of 25 points. 6 Sixes Score six points for each 6 thrown. Maximum of 30 points. 7 Little Straight 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Scores 30 points. 8 Big Straight 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Scores 30 points. 9 Full House Three-of-a-kind and a pair. Scores total value of all dice. 10 Four of a Kind Scores total value of the four dice. i.e. 6, 6, 6, 6, 2 scores 24 points. 11 Chance No pattern required. Scores total value of all five dice. 12 Yacht Five-of-a-kind scores 50 points.
For example a turn might go something like this. A player rolls all five dice resulting with the numbers 6, 6, 6, 3, 3. They could score for a full house without any further throws. But if the full house category is already used they would set aside the three 6s and roll the remaining two dice to try and gain a good score for the sixes category. The remaining dice are rolled again and come up as a 4 and 6. The 6 is kept making four-of-a-kind and the remaining die rolled as the last throw. It is a 6 as well making a Yacht (five-of-a-kind) and scores 50 points which ends a very lucky turn. It is common for a player to enter zero for a category and players often use the 1s for this because it is low scoring.
Variations:
Yahtzee is played as described above but the score sheet is divided into two sections. 1s through to 6s as the first section, and the remaining categories as the second. At the end of a game you score a bonus of 35 if the 1s to 6s section totals 63 or more. Additionally the definition of a big straight is any run of five consecutive dice values and a little straight any run of four consecutive dice values. Players score 40 for a big straight not 30.
General is played as described above for Yacht but with the following differences.
There is only one straight scored in General and can be either 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. It scores 25 points if made with only one throw and only 20 points if made on the second or third. For this category Aces (1s) are wild and may represent a 2 or a 6 if either or both are needed to make a straight.
The full house scores 35 points if made with one throw and 30 points if made on the second or third.
Four-of-a-kind scores 45 points if made with one throw and 40 points if made on the second or third.
The Yacht category is know as a general . If it is made with one throw then it wins the game with no further play and is known as a big general . If made on the second or third throw it scores 60 points and is known as a small general .
When played for stakes the winner receives the difference between his score and that of each of the other players at a pre-arranged sum for each point.
Double Cameroon is played in much the same way as Yacht but with ten dice. At the end of a player's turn the dice are divided into two groups of five and are used to score two categories of the player's choice. Five rounds are played for the ten categories, which are; categories 1 to 6 and a full house score the same as in Yacht . Little Cameroon (a little straight) scores 21 points. Big Cameroon (a big straight) scores 30 points. Five-of-a-kind ( Yacht ) scores 50 points.

Yacht is the public domain dice game upon which the published games Yahtzee and Kismet are both based. Here's how to play.
The Basics of Yacht
1 or more players. Best with 2 to 5 players.
5 six-sided dice , along with pencil and paper to keep score.
To score more points than your opponents by rolling certain combinations of numbers.
Create a score sheet with 12 rows and a column for each player. Label the rows as follows:
- Large Straight
- Small Straight
- Four of a Kind
- Player's Choice
Definitions
- Yacht: Five of the same number (e.g. 4-4-4-4-4).
- Large Straight: Five in a row starting with 6 (i.e. 6-5-4-3-2).
- Small Straight: Five in a row starting with 5 (i.e. 5-4-3-2-1).
- Four of a Kind: Four of the same number (e.g. 5-4-4-4-4).
- Full House: Three of one number, two of a different number (e.g. 4-4-4-1-1).
- Player's Choice: Any combination of dice.
- Sixes: Only sixes count for scoring.
- Fives: Only fives count for scoring.
- Fours: Only fours count for scoring.
- Threes: Only threes count for scoring.
- Twos: Only twos count for scoring.
- Ones: Only ones count for scoring.
How to Play
A turn starts with a player rolling all five dice. The player may then set aside any number of dice, rerolling the others, or he may stop rolling and proceed to scoring. It is legal for a player to reroll all five dice. It is also legal to reroll dice previously set aside.
On each turn, a player has a maximum of three rolls. After a third roll, the player must stop rolling and proceed to scoring.
Each player will have 12 turns during the game. After each turn, the player must enter a score in one of the rows on the score sheet.
Example: Ana rolls a 1-2-2-4-6. For her second roll, she decides to keep the 2s and reroll the other three dice. She rolls 4-4-6, so she now has 2-2-4-4-6. She has already scored a Full House, so for her third roll, she decides to keep the 4s and reroll the other three dice. She rolls 1-4-4 and now has 1-4-4-4-4. She decides to score for Four of a Kind.
It is likely that a player will make a roll that does not qualify to earn points in any of the remaining categories. In this case, the player must mark a "0" in one of the available categories.
Yacht Scoring and Values
- Yacht: 50 points. (It does not matter what numbers are on the dice.)
- Large Straight: 30 points.
- Small Straight: 30 points.
- Four of a Kind: Up to 30 points. (Add the point values on all five dice, so 4-4-4-4-1 would score 17 points. It is legal to use five of a kind for this category, so 6-6-6-6-6 would score 30 points.)
- Full House: Up to 28 points. (Add the point values on all five dice, so 3-3-3-6-6 would score 21 points. To earn points for a full house, the three of a kind must be different than the pair.)

Yacht – Rules and Regulations of the Dice Game
- gbateson99's Blog
In the vast ocean of dice games, Yacht stands out as one of the most captivating and strategic journeys. Yacht is a game that can either be played against the computer, or online against real-life players. Either way, this game is tons of fun to play!
In this blog, we’ll go over the basic rules on how to play Yacht, as well as some strategies to help out the newer players. Continue reading to learn some of the rules that you’ll have to know in order to succeed.
Rules of The Yacht Dice Game
It can be intimidating to start playing the Yacht. Players start out by rolling five dice, with a complicated scoring sheet right next to the table. This might seem like it's going to be hard to learn. However, when you break this board game down to its core components, you will see that it isn’t so difficult to learn how to play Yacht.
Yacht starts by rolling five different dice. After each roll, you will have the opportunity to decide which dice you would like to keep and which ones you would like to re-roll. After three rolls, you must pick which combination of dice to go with.
Every time that you finish rolling, you must select a new category to put your roll under. There are tons of different categories to select from at the beginning of the game. Categories include ones through sixes (where you sum the corresponding numbers), three of a kind, four of a kind, full house, small straight, large straight, yacht (five of a kind), and chance.
Categories are broken into 2 different areas – the top part of the sheet and the bottom part. The bottom part is all of the niche categories such as small straight, three-of-a-kind, and full house. The top part of the sheet is entirely made of the ones through sixes section. If you are able to get a cumulative score of 63 with those 6 categories in the top part, then players will get a bonus of 35 points on their sheet.
Final Round
After all 13 rounds of Yacht, it is time to total up your entire score. The player with the highest amount of points wins the dice game and is declared champion.Oftentimes this will only come down to 10 or 20 points. Remember, every round counts!
Common Strategies
When going toe to toe against opponents, it can be difficult to come out victorious when you’re just starting. Not to worry though, these small tips and tricks will help to give you a leg up on the competition.
The bonus is key
As we previously mentioned, if you are able to get 63 points total in the section of ones through sixes, you will receive a 35-point bonus. This is an absolutely crucial aspect of the game. You should always make sure to try and hit this point mark, especially the fours, fives, and sixes.
Don't waste your Chance
One of the categories of the Yacht Dice Game is Chance. The Chance category allows you to add up the total of all the dice in a given roll and score that total. It is a useful category that should only be used in emergencies. When the game is nearing the end, having a safety valve is huge.
Know when to take risks
As you near the end of the game, it will become obvious how far ahead or behind you are. This should inform your decisions on how risky you want to play. You may be willing to go for the 50-point Yacht if you are far ahead, or you can play it safe and try and get some easier points in a different category. Understanding how risky you can afford to be is a crucial part of learning how to play Yacht.
So now that you have learned the basics of how to play Yacht, make sure to go and try it for yourself. Whether you want to challenge an opponent from across the world, play against the computer, or sit down and face a friendy, it’ll be a fun and competitive time.
