The Yahztee Drinking Game adds a few simple twists to this classic dice game. For the most part the game plays out as normal but certain rolls cause players to give out drinks and certain rolls cause players to take some drinks themselves.
For anyone who isn’t aware, Yahtzee is a simple dice game reminiscent of poker. Players take turns rolling up to 5 dice and try to build the roll that’s worth the most points. At the end of the game each player tallies up all their points via the Yahtzee score card and then a winner is decided. You can enjoy playing the Yahtzee game online for free.
