How it plays
Roll six. Keep what you like. Fill the board.
Kahtzee is Maxi Yatzy — the Scandinavian six-dice cousin of Yahtzee. Two players share one screen, take turns, and fight over nineteen boxes until the scorecard is full.
-
Six dice, three rolls
Roll, hold the dice you want, roll again. Three throws a turn to make something worth writing down.
-
Pass the phone
Two players, one device, no network. Pick a cat each and settle it between you at the kitchen table.
-
Nineteen boxes
Ones through sixes up top — reach 84 for the 50-point bonus — then pairs, straights, full house, chance and Yatzy.
The scorecard
European rules, all nineteen of them
Six dice open up boxes that plain Yahtzee never had: three pairs, two three-of-a-kinds and a royal straight all the way from one to six.

The roster
Fourteen cats. Pick one, make it proud.
Every cat has its own face, its own mood and its own opinion about how your last roll went. Win a match and your cat carries off a mouse — the catch sits on its portrait from then on, counted for as long as you keep playing.

When the Yatzy is the last box left, the hunt gets five rolls instead of three — and the cat on the hunt turns into a lion until the box is filled.

Dog mode
Five dice only — coming soon.
