Yatzy Dice Game

This is an exciting category-type dice game where you use 5 dice to create roles like poker and compete for points.

(Purpose)

The player rolls the dice on his turn and arranges the hands of the specified combination.

At the end of the 13th round, the player with the highest score wins.

(flow)

At the beginning of his turn, the player presses the "ROLL" button and rolls five dice.

After that, press the dice that do not roll again to lock.

If you press the "ROLL" button again, the unlocked dice will be rolled again.

You can roll the dice up to 3 times, the first time and the second time.

Roll the dice three times or if you get a good hand in the middle, select a hand from the hand table and press the white square to record the score.

The score of the hand once recorded cannot be erased, so choose the hand carefully.

Also, you cannot pass without recording the score.

Even if the hand is not completed, you must select one of the hands and record it with 0 points.

When the score is recorded, it will be the next player's turn.

After 13 rounds, the game ends when all the squares on the hand table are filled.
