DSDice is a Yahtzee clone with extra options for the NDS.

This homebrew was presented in the NEO Summer Coding Compo 2009 and Scenery Beta 2009.

Features

  • Complete game with accurate rules.
  • High scores for up to 7 places.
  • Aesthetic appeal, hopefully.
  • Re-playability.

User guide

This game uses the rules from http://www.yahtzee.org.uk/.

The object of Yahtzee is to obtain the highest score from throwing 5 dice.

The game consists of 13 rounds. In each round, you roll the dice and then score the roll in one of 13 categories. You must score once in each category. The score is determined by a different rule for each category. The game ends once all 13 categories have been scored.

In-game tutorial is available.

Scoring combinations

  • Ones - 1 point for every number one rolled.
  • Twos - 2 points for every number two rolled.
  • 3 of a kind - When you get 3 equal numbers, it is multiplied by the number on the dice (3 x repeated number).
  • 4 of a kind - The same as the previous one, but by 4 times (4 x repeated number).
  • Full House - 26 points for having a pair and a trio.
  • Small straight - 28 poitns if you get 4 consecutive numbers.
  • Large straight - 38 points for 5 consecutive numbers.
  • Five Dice - 42 points if you get 5 fives, also referred as Yahtzee.
  • Chance - Any combination.
