Five Dice variants
Other ways to play Five Dice, each one ready to play here. Read how a variant changes the rules, then start a game with it chosen in the table setup.
Yatzy
The Nordic scoring sheet: 15 boxes with One Pair and Two Pairs, sets that score only their matching dice, fixed straights and a 50-point upper bonus.
Triple
Three score columns instead of one, counted once, twice and three times: every box is filled once in each column, and you choose the column for every roll.
Six dice
The Nordic six-dice game: 20 boxes with Three Pairs, Castle, Tower and a Full Straight, a 100-point six of a kind, and unused rolls saved for later turns.
Forced order
No choosing where to score: the boxes are filled from top to bottom, one per turn, so every roll chases the next box on the sheet, starting with Ones.
Joker scoring
What an extra five of a kind may do once its box is full: the forced joker of the official rules or the free-choice joker, scoring a Full House or a straight.
