How to score
- Upper section: 1s through 6s. Total 63+ there earns the +35 bonus.
- Lower: 3/4 of a kind, full house, small/large straight, Yahtzee (five of a kind), chance.
- Each category once. Highest grand total wins.
How to play
- 13 turns. Each turn: roll five dice, up to two rerolls, then fill one category.
Triple Yahtzee
Triple Yahtzee is three columns of the same 13 boxes. Score each column like a normal sheet, including its own +35 if that column's upper section reaches 63. Add the three columns. There is no column multiplier in this count. Some fan sheets double column 2 and triple column 3. That is not this sheet.
The printable below is for paper. The Triple option is in the next app update. It is not in the App Store or Google Play yet.
Questions
What if I roll a second Yahtzee?
If Yahtzee is already filled with 50, extra Yahtzees usually add a 100 bonus and joker into another category. Follow the card's joker rules.
Can I score 0?
Yes. Scratch a category you cannot fill. Better than wasting a good upper if you are chasing 63.

Common Yahtzee rules questions
The arguments that come up at the table, answered from the official rules. Where house rules differ, we say so.
What happens when you roll a second Yahtzee?
If your Yahtzee box already has 50, you get a 100 point bonus. Then you also use the roll as a Joker to fill a box (see the next question). If you scratched the Yahtzee box with a 0, there's no bonus, but the Joker rule still applies.
How does the Joker rule work?
First, if the matching upper box is open (for five 4s, the Fours box), you must score it there. If that box is filled, you may put the roll in any open lower box, and Full House, Small Straight and Large Straight score their full 25, 30 or 40. If those are all filled too, you must put a 0 in an open upper box.
Does a Yahtzee count as a Full House?
Only under the Joker rule above. Otherwise a Full House needs three of one number and two of another.
House rule Lots of families let any Yahtzee count as a Full House. That's a house rule, not the box rules.
Can you score a Large Straight as a Small Straight?
Yes. A run of five also contains a run of four, so it can go in Small Straight for 30.
Can you reroll dice you set aside earlier in the turn?
Yes. You get up to three rolls and can pick up any dice between them, including ones you kept the roll before.
How do you get the 35 point bonus?
Score 63 or more across the upper section, Ones through Sixes. That's three of each number. Doodle Score shows how far you are from it.
