VBA files: This is the only way we play Yahtzee now! Why not play with all 6 dice? So, after a little experimentation, Super Yahtzee is what we came up with. We joked that this should count for some extra points.and that's when it hit. On the very first roll, an extra large straight came out of the cup. One day, when we started to play, we forgot to take out that extra die. Everytime we played Yahtzee, we had to leave 1 die out. At some point we got a new set of dice and for some reason it came with 6 dice instead of 5.

We even moved onto other board games for a while. Once this streak came to an end, we started to miss all the excitement of rolling all those Yahtzee's. Our scores were consistently in the 600-700 range during this time. Sometime in the mid 2000's, our family had an incredible streak of bonus Yahtzee's and high scores. My family loves to play classic board and dice games.

Super Yahtzee is just like regular Yahtzee, but with an extra die (for a total of 6) and an extra roll of the dice on your turn (for a total of 4). It also allows for double clicking on the bonus Yahtzee cells to add/remove a checkmark.
