Description

In Zoo Yatzy, a fun and fast-paced dice game, players take turns rolling five dice up to three times to make high-scoring sets of animals. The game is incredibly simple to learn, with rules that can be explained quickly, making it accessible to a wide range of players, from 2 to 99. With a playtime of just 10 minutes, it's perfect for a quick game with friends or family. The goal is to score points by filling out your score sheet with the right combinations of animals. Choose carefully which lines to score, as each one can only be used once. If you're lucky enough to roll five identical animals, you'll get a 10-point bonus. The player with the highest score at the end wins, with a potential 10-point bonus for scoring 18 or more points on the upper half of the score sheet.
