Yahtzee Jr. (1988)

About this game

Yahtzee Jr. - for 2 to 4 players Ages 5 and up Score the most points by rolling as many of the same Disney characters on the dice as you can. On each turn, you roll the dice UP TO THREE TIMES, trying to roll as many of the same Disney characters as you can. You roll Yahtzee style ... selecting the dice you wish to re-roll ... and re-rolling up to two times after your first roll. The Mickey Mouse dice icon is "wild" and can count as any character you wish. The more matching dice of a character you roll, the higher you score. To score, add up the matching dice of that character. Then mark the score by placing its matching token on the score board. After all turns have been taken and scored, players then total up their scores by adding up the Column Numbers above each of their tokens. The player with the highest total wins.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.1/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 4 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
