Stress Free Yatzy Classic Dice 4+

How ‘bout a running average?

I agree that this game is true Yahtzee (without all the silly gimmicks in similar App Store offerings.) But a running average would make more sense than the “highest score” BS. Since this game is most often played solitaire, I think a Player’s Average score should be offered. Simply the total of scores over a given (or selected) number of games divided by the number of games played. If I knew my average score at the end of, say 100 games played, The game could talky a record of that avg score, and I could try to beat it over the next 100 games played. A running all-time average would be a nice “easter egg.” It might be nice for users with devices upon which multiple family members play to have players identify themselves with a sign in, so separate running averages could be kept for each user. —bb

Nice and Simple, but...

It looks like a nice, no frills app, and to be fair there’s no pay to play gouging, and it just lets you play. Unfortunately it has two fatal flaws:
1) The random number generation is ridiculous. Not even close to being the averages of what you would expect from physical dice. Given how simple it is to generate a random dice roll in programming, I can only assume it’s by design and intentionally skewed for some reason. (Not even just the re-rolled dice coming up the same a ridiculous amount as others have mentioned, just bad across the board).
2) More than half the time (guesstimating) you don’t get two extra rolls, you only get one.
If they offered power-ups you could buy, or other IAP, I would say that they intentionally try to damage your score for financial reasons. But being they don’t have IAP or any other financial incentives, I can only guess it is just bad programming.

Developer Response ,

Howdy! Thanks for playing Totally Yatzy! It is frustrating when you don’t get the number you need, but the dice really do come up with random numbers. We recently ran a test and had the dice roll over 100,000 times and each number did come up about 1/6 of the time.

In our Yatzy game you get three rolls. We know it’s easy to lose track, so we change the button after each roll. After the first roll, you’ll see the button says ROLL AGAIN, after the second roll the button says LAST ROLL and after your final roll the button will say DONE ROLLING until you choose a scoring box and then it will say NEXT ROUND.
Please use the App Support link here or the Contact Us button in the game if you have any other questions. --Julie

Relaxing game

I have used Yahtzee for +years.
I find this App to be a favorite. No timer, no interruptions for ads. I play this for hours at the end of my day to relax. Very easy to use.
Has an encouraging end of game and displays a reward screen when you top your highest score so far. Fast moving and I am enjoying every day. Would recommend.
