Toys and Games Reviews of Yahtzee
Customer Review: a classic
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this game for my son and we have been playing it for years. Its a game I played as a child and loved. The thing about yahtzee is that it can be a very simple and straight forward game...as kids play it...or you can add some stragegy, more like adults play it...I got this regular edition instead of one of the fancier editions that are available from time to time. I would say that the box on the regular edition is pretty prone to not being all that sturdy.. I have had to tape the corners a few times. The *limited editions* i have seen seem to be a bit more well made. When I replace this game, it will probably be with one of those just for the sturdiness factor.
That said..this is really the perfect family game. Easy for all but the youngest kids and fun for adults. It takes up little closet room when your storing it... (an issue when most kids games come in gigantic boxes)...it doesnt require a huge set up before playing (something that makes me nuts, altho doesnt seem to bother my son any)
Its really perfect.
Customer Review: A Great Game
Summary: 5 Stars
I played Yahtzee as a kid with my Dad and had forgotten how much fun it was. While looking for some non-electronic games to play with my kids, I stumbled across Yahtzee and instantly remembered the good times. Introducing the game to the family tonight, I was hoping that they would enjoy it as much as I had years ago. They did not dissapoint me and after playing several games they all complimented me on the choice. Another reviewer called Yahtzee "quietly educational", and I completely agree with that term. My oldest, who since his school started letting him use a calculator in algebra and geometry has lost the ability to do math in his head, suddenly rediscovered his math skills when his score was on the line.
The only thing Milton Bradley did wrong with this game was being cheap on the size of the pad of score sheets they include. Other than that, this is a classic game that has not lost anything over the years. Turn off the television or computer and play this game with people you love.
Customer Review: Classic Fun
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a classic fun game. We've always enjoyed this, and we've revised the rules for the toddlers to play. When we play with the toddlers, we simply go in order of the scorecard (ex: our first roll is to get as many one's as possible, then we write the amount on the scorecard).Sometimes for a little variety, when playing with adults, we revise the rules again. We've taken one scorecard and played "blackout," where we finish the entire scorecard and make it one game; we've played it the same as we play with the toddlers or young childred listed above; and we've played it the normal way.
Yahtzee has always been a great family game, and it does improve math skills. Make your children add up their own dice and/or scores. Best of all, put away the calculators!! Enjoy!!
Customer Review: Get the Deluxe versions
Summary: 5 Stars
A year ago, I bought the original version and was immediately addicted. Yahtzee is a really fun game, however the dice are really cheap; the black paint in the number holes comes off easily and the dice themselves are too lightweight. My best advice to any future Yahtzee players is: buy either the Deluxe Edition or the Deluxe Game Folio Edition. The dice are better quality and the cups and playing trays each have felt lining so there's less noise when you roll. Pencils are also included. The best feature with the Game Folio Edition is that everything is stored in a convenient carrying case; You can pack it up and take it with you, which makes it great for travelling.Customer Review: A game the whole family will enjoy!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This action-packed, high intensity, role-of-the dice thriller will leave you breathless; it will leave you shocked; and it may boggle your mind when you find out that your opponent(s) just beat you by one point during their final turn. This game is a game of luck; it's a game of skill; and it's a game of chance. The suspense that builds inside you everytime you roll the dice is overwhelming. Nobody knows what the dice will read once they leave the cup. I recommend this game to the entire family. The emotion that is felt during the play of the game is one that you'll want repeated over and over. This is why Yahtzee is my number one favorite game of all time.
