HOW TO PLAY
How do I play Yatzy Dice Clash? (Basic Gameplay)
In Yatzy Dice Clash, you and your opponent roll dice combinations to score points over the course of 13 turns. Score more points than your opponent to win the game!
A turn starts with your 1st roll by rolling all five dice. You can tap to “hold” any number of dice and re-roll the remaining dice. At any point, you can stop rolling and play your score, but know that normally you can roll up to 3 times. However, if you have bonus rolls available, you can spend them to get additional rolls, improving your chance for a better score.
Once you’re out of rolls, or if you decided to stop rolling early, it’s time to play your score. You can play your score by simply tapping on any of the 13 cells. Once you “write down” your score by tapping, there is no going back!
Before tapping you can see the faded possible scores etched in all of your unplayed cells, making it easier for you to decide where to play. You can fill any cell, in any section, and in any order, but you must fill-in one cell each turn. Once a cell has been filled in, it cannot be used again.
Each cell has its own scoring rules, and you can view those rules by tapping on any of the 13 icons which represent the 13 different cells you need to fill in order to finish the game (read more about this in our “Game Scoring” section below).
Once you finish your turn, the game will shift to your opponent’s turn, and they’ll go through the same process you did. This goes back and forth for 13 turns for each player, until the entire scorecard is filled. The player with the highest score wins!
The Lucky Charm Cards are an additional mechanic to the gameplay. To read details about how to play with them, please visit the “How do I play with the Lucky Charm Cards?” section.
Since Yatzy Dice Clash matches are played live versus other players, all of your turns (and your opponent's turns, as well) have a Turn Timer, set at 35 seconds per turn. If this timer runs out at any turn, you have an additional Reserve Time, which is set at 60 seconds
The Reserve Time is cumulative for the entire match. If both timers run out at any turn, it’s as if you automatically forfeited the match.
Game Scoring
The goal of the game is to beat your opponent’s score. You can do that by getting the most out of your scoreboard, combined with getting the most out of your Lucky Charms! The scoreboard is broken down into two major sections, known as the Left Section and the Right Section.
The Left Section:
The left section only scores the same dice, from 1 to 6. Add up the dice of the same number to get your score. For example, if a player were to roll three fours, the score would be recorded as 12 in the Fours cell.
The Left Section Bonus:
If you score at least 63 points across all of the Left Section combinations (not counting the possible Yatzy Bonus banners), you’ll win an additional bonus of 35 points.
The Right Section:
The right section spaces are typically more complex and have more specific requirements for scoring. We’re going to walk you through the complete breakdown of each cell:
Three of a kind:
At least three of the same dice (example: 4, 6, 2, 6, 6)
Score: Sum of all dice (example: 4+6+2+6+6 = 24)
Four of a kind:
At least four of the same dice (example: 5, 5, 5, 2, 5)
Score: Sum of all dice (example: 5+5+5+2+5 = 22)
Full House:
Any three of a kind and any pair (example: 3, 6, 6, 3, 6)
Score: 25 points (regardless of the sum value of the dice)
Small Straight:
Any four consecutive dice (example: 2, 3, 4, 5, 3)
Score: 30 points (regardless of the sum value of the dice)
Large Straight:
Any five consecutive dice (example: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
Score: 40 points (regardless of the sum value of the dice)
Yatzy:
All five of the same dice (example: 4, 4, 4, 4, 4)
Score: 50 points (regardless of the sum value of the dice)
Yatzy bonus:
If you fill the Yatzy cell and claim your 50 points, any subsequent Yatzies that you roll will award you an extra 50 bonus points to whatever cell you place the second Yatzy into!
This keeps Yatzies important and very valuable for the entire game.
Chance:
No combos necessary. Chance is a one-off, use anytime, catch-all safety net when you can’t score anywhere else and don’t want to enter a zero.
Score: Sum of all dice
Strategy tips
Winning is all about figuring out the best strategy in order to get the highest score!
- After every roll, you will be able to place the dice into multiple cells. Based on the sum of the score, it is up to you which cell you will fill-in during that turn.
- Bear in mind that some combos are easier to roll than others and you will probably have to enter a Zero at some point. This is where your Lucky Charms can help you and give you a Bonus Roll or Turn Reset. Use them smartly to avoid filling in a Zero.
- Balance your scoring between the Left Section and the Right Section to maximize your score.
- Try to leave your Chance cell for later on in the game when your options are becoming more and more limited.
- The real mastery of the game is not just being a high roller, but knowing which box to fill and when, as well as which Lucky Charms to use.
How do I play with the Lucky Charm Cards?
Lucky Charms are cards that enhance the core Yatzy experience and help you earn more points during matches.
You can preview your available Lucky Charms in your Collections screen, where you can also build your deck of 8 cards for future Yatzy Dice Clash duels.
When a Yatzy Dice Clash duel begins, the first thing you’ll notice is the Mulligan screen. Here, randomly shuffled 4 cards appear from your previously built 8 card deck, and you get to decide if you want to keep the offered cards or replace them (you can do only one replacement of each card).
There are 3 types of Lucky Charms:
- Cards that give you bonus points
- Cards that give you bonus rolls
- Cards that give you turn resets + bonus points
Each Lucky Charm has a win condition (example: Roll 2 or 6 to win 25 points). When the card is triggered you need to roll and match the win condition of the card in order to collect the reward (which can be bonus points, bonus roll or a turn reset). As you upgrade your cards the win conditions will be easier to match, and the rewards will become much higher.
How do I upgrade my Lucky Charm Cards?
You can upgrade your Lucky Charms by selecting the Collections icon from the main menu screen. From here, you will also be able to see how many cards are needed to upgrade each Lucky Charm.
Lucky Charms can be found in any Box and can also be purchased from the Yatzy Dice Clash store.
How do I organise my Lucky Charms collection?
You can access and organise your Lucky Charms deck by selecting the Collections icon from the main menu screen.
From there you’ll be able to compare, upgrade, and select which Lucky Charms you want to use during matches.
How can I add more friends?
Inviting friends in Yatzy Dice Clash is easy!
In your Friends list you'll be seeing only your Facebook friends that have installed Yatzy Dice Clash and have registered an account in the app with their personal FB profiles.
When you start seeing your friends in the Friend list, you’ll then be able to play direct duels by challenging them and exchange Gift Boxes in the game!
Why am I not receiving Trophies when winning matches?
Every tour in Yatzy Dice Clash has a maximum number of available trophies.
Tour 1: "Nordic" - 20 Trophies
Tour 2: "Australia" - 50 Trophies
Tour 3: "Egypt" - 100 Trophies
Tour 4: "France" - 200 Trophies
Tour 5: "Argentina" - 300 Trophies
Tour 6: "India" - 500 Trophies
Tour 7: "UK" - 600 Trophies
Tour 8: "USA" - 700 Trophies
Tour 9 "Germany" - 800 Trophies
When you hit that number, you will not be able to earn any more trophies from that Tour.
You can still earn Coins from the completed tours but be careful since you can also lose your current Trophies!
Once you max-out any Tour, you will receive a +10% (per maxed-out Tour) on all the Lucky Charms in all Boxes as long as you keep the Tour maxed-out.
How do I change my Lucky Charms during a match?
It is not possible to change your Lucky Charms during a match.
You can access and organise your Lucky Charms by selecting the Collections icon from the main menu screen, where you will be able to compare, upgrade, and select which Lucky Charms you want to use during matches.
MATCHMAKING
How does matchmaking work in Yatzy Dice Clash?
Yatzy Dice Clash's matchmaking system works by attempting to find you an opponent with a similar trophy count as quickly as possible.
When you start a 1vs1 game, the game searches through all of the online players who are also looking for a game in the same 'Tour' as you and who are in the same trophy bracket as you.
Once a match is found, the game starts immediately.
If the game cannot find someone in your trophy bracket, it will then start to look for players who sit in the trophy bracket directly above or below you.
The result of this is that players may be slightly further apart in terms of trophy count, but are ultimately similarly skilled players.
97.2% of Yatzy Dice Clash games are matched successfully in this way.
What happens when there are no players available in 1vs1?
Very rarely, in less than 2.8% of all games, there aren't any available live players close enough to your trophy level to start a game quickly.
In this situation, we will match you against an opponent with a similar trophy level who played recently but who isn't online at that moment.
This process is possible since the game stores the turns that the players take during matches.
When this opponent is selected, the experienced is almost the same as if playing with a live player.
Losing Streaks
We have one special rule where players on losing streaks may be matched differently to avoid extending their losses.

What causes this error message to appear?
This error will occur whenever your device loses connection to our game servers for 2 seconds. The most common cause of this error is caused if you close or leave the Yatzy Dice Clash app at any point during your match. So please make sure that you are not switching apps at any point during your game, even if it is not your turn.
Unlike some games, Yatzy Dice Clash requires a constant internet connection, it is therefore extremely important that your device is always connected to a strong and reliable internet connection.
It is also important to remember that although your network speed may be fast, there are instances where the internet connection might have slight fluctuations, even if your device shows full Wi-Fi or mobile data bars. This leads to the loss of connection or lag.
The "Reconnecting" message will only appear if your device loses connection to our servers for more than 2 seconds.
This connection error message can be caused:
- If your device has lost internet connection.
- If you have minimised the Yatzy Dice Clash app at any point during you match.
- If you have switched to an instant messaging service such as Facebook Chat or WhatsApp.
- If you have switched to a different app, opened a text message or answered a phone call during a match.
- If your device has switched between connection types (WiFi and mobile data)
- If your Internet Service Provider is experiencing issues.
