Yatzee Total Calculation Error
Last modified: 2005-07-11 13:28:20 UTC
Please describe the problem: Player 'Bill' beat me with a Yatzee score of 200 (plus other scores). The maximum points for getting five (5) identical dice is 50. To re-state the problem: you are given a maximum of 50 points for getting five (5) identical dice. Player 'Bill' received 200. This should not be possible. Steps to reproduce: 1. I have not been able to reproduce the problem. 2. 3. Actual results: This problem has not been reproducible. Expected results: Does this happen every time? No. Other information: Thanks for getting me addicted to this game - I've played it a zillion times!
From the manual: "There is one exception to this rule, if you roll a yahtzee a second time you can put it in the yahtzee row again for an extra fifty points. You can keep doing this each time you get another yahtzee. At the end of the game you will be given extra rolls to fill in the other rows. Be warned that if you score zero in your yahtzee row (i.e. you filled that row with something that wasn't a yahtzee) then you can't put a yahtzee in afterward, zero is all you will score." Thanks for the bug report. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 115068 ***
