Yahtzee
Roll five dice
Yahtzee is a dice game where players roll five dice up to three times per turn, trying to form scoring combinations like three of a kind, full house, or straights.
The highest-scoring result—all five dice showing the same number—is also called a Yahtzee: I rolled a Yahtzee on my first try.
Players traditionally shout the word when achieving this.
