There are a few rules about the category choices:
Large Straight: 5 sequential dice, score is 40.Small Straight: 4 sequential dice, score is 30.Full House: 3 dice with one value and 2 with another, score is 25.Four of a Kind: 4 dice with same value, score is sum of all dice.Three of a Kind: 3 dice with same value, score is sum of all dice.The categories are as follows ('sum of dice' means adding up the number of pips on the specified dice):
Then, players' scores are tallied, and the player with the highest score wins. This continues until there are no more categories (which happens after 13 turns). In the game Yahtzee, players take turns rolling 5 6-sided dice up to three times per turn, possibly saving dice between rolls, and then selecting a category they wish to use for their roll.
