YZ-Lite is a windows version of the classic dice game.

The advantage of YZ-Lite over other similar dice games is that it is a

Quick to learn,  EASY to play,  Single user

dice game.  A handy game to have when you want to play a game,

 but you do not have a lot of time to play.

The general idea of the game is to roll five dice up to three times, selecting dice to keep and dice to re-roll, to get the highest score.  See the Playing YZ-Lite topic to get a detailed explanation of the various features of YZ-Lite and the specifics of scoring.

Playing the Game

Starting, Dice rolling, and Scoring - To start the game click the Begin button, five dice will appear.  Click on the dice you want to re-roll, the dice selected will turn dark, (Note - You can click on a dark dice, to in effect un-select it from the next roll).  Click on the Roll 1 button and select dice to re-roll again.  Click on the Roll 2 button, this is your final roll.  Select the score button that you want to post your dice roll to, (Note - At any time during the 3 dice rolls you can select a score button, you do not have to wait until the last dice roll to post a score).

Score Buttons - Following is a description of the how the scoring buttons are calculated:

Ones	Add the total of all #1 dice

Twos	Add the total of all #2 dice

Threes	Add the total of all #3 dice

Fours	Add the total of all #4 dice

Fives	Add the total of all #5 dice

Sixes	Add the total of all #6 dice

Total	Total of the left column score buttons

Bonus	If the Total is greater than 62 add 35 bonus points

Left Total	The Total button plus Bonus points, if any

Three of a Kind	Total of all dice, with at least three of the dice the same

Four of a Kind	Total of all dice, with at least four of the dice the same

Full House	30 points if three dice and two dice are the same

Small Straight	35 points if four dice are in sequence, Example - 1,2,3,4

Large Straight	40 points if five dice are in sequence, Example - 1,2,3,4,5

Yah-Hoo	50 points if all five of the dice are the same

Chance	Total of all dice, any order or combination

Right Total	Total of the right column score buttons

Combined Total	Total of the left and right total buttons

Strategy

If on the first roll after selecting the begin button there are no two dice that are the same, try for the small or large straight.

Save the Chance score button for later in the game when most of the score buttons have been selected, as this is the time when it becomes more difficult to roll dice combinations to complete the open score buttons.
