Web version
The players take turns rolling the dice 3 times on each turn. After each roll the player has the option of saving one or more of his dice. A die that is saved from the previous rolls can be taken out again to be rerolled in the next roll.
The first roll is automated. You save dice by clicking on them, after which they slide to the bottom of the playing area. They can be clicked on again, if you decide to change your mind and want to roll them again. Once the desired combination is achieved, you can click on the Yatzy pad where the combination is. If you click on a combination in which your actual dice combination don't comply with (e.g. 4 of a kind, while you only have two of a kind), you get 0 points. You don't have to roll three times if you already have your desired combination.
