Windows Yacht ------------- GAME RULES: The object of Windows Yacht is to reach the highest possible point score by rolling and scoring dice. A game of Yacht consists of thirteen turns, with up to three rolls of the dice allowed for each turn. At the end of each turn a score that has not already been used must be chosen and scored for the current dice. After any of the three rolls of a turn, a score can be chosen for the current dice, ending the turn. The different types of scores, and how their points are computed are: Ones.............. sum of all dice equal to one Twos.............. sum of all dice equal to two Threes............ sum of all dice equal to three Fours............. sum of all dice equal to four Fives............. sum of all dice equal to five Sixes............. sum of all dice equal to six Three of a kind... sum of all dice -- three of the dice must be equal Four of a kind.... sum of all dice -- four of the dice must be equal Full House........ 25 points -- three dice must be equal, and the remaining two dice must be equal Small Straight.... 30 points -- four dice must be in sequence, arranged in any order Large Straight.... 40 points -- five dice must be in sequence, arranged in any order Yacht............. 50 points -- all five dice must be equal Chance............ sum of all dice At the end of the game, the total of all scores gives the final score. If the total of all the scores on the left side of the score card (Ones through Sixes) is greater than or equal to 63 points, an additional 35 point bonus is added.
