Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We really like this game on the no ads version, but in playing today we scored two Yachtys and did not receive our bonus 100 pts on the score sheet.
Cant stop playing this game, love the 3-player version, and learned a new trick too.
Yachty is the best game ever it is so fun for little kids and adults its super easy to learn and just such a good game.
We HATE THE ADS! How do we get rid of them.
We have enjoyed this particular Yahtzee game for years. Very fun and responsive game. This is our number one pick.
Each time Ive played this game with someone, it tells both players that they won. Weird. But otherwise the game is fun and easy to play.
We've had this game for years. Have played thousands of time. It our favorite game.
We were looking for an easy, simple Yahtzee-like game that we could play remotely online with our elderly mom. This fit the bill perfectly. But, its just a little glitchy at times (reversed our total scores at the end of each game for one thing). Nothing major. Its still the simple Yahtzee-like game, without all of the ridiculously complicated gimmicks, ads and attempts to sell us free rolls, etc. Like Yahtzee with Buddies does. The number of ads and sales pushy-ness of that app frustrates and annoys us A LOT! If you just want to play a simple game Yachty, this is the one to get. And, you can pay a couple bucks to eliminate all ads. Thank you for that.
People really complain too much. You cant really please everyone. But Im really loving this game! Its the best one ever! Nothing wrong with this game at all. Just play and enjoy.
Its kept us company through a rough time . We had breast cancer and it has helped us take our mind off the pain and problems that are associated with cancer.
We have had this game for years. We love playing by our self and cpu.
And we use it for pass and play often. But when we play online, it often swaps scores on the last move, so when we were winning by a wide margin we suddenly lose! Very, very annoying.
Its Yahtzee. Hard to mess that one up. Too many ads or the ads are just too long.
Good game, easy to play but needs landscape mode for iPad.
We enjoy playing this game on our IPhone, but theres one problem. The ads block your view of your dice at times and causes you to choose in error or leave a needed due behind. Fix the problem and its worth 4-5 stars.
Paid to remove ads. And they are not removed.
Decently fun game, one of the more basic Yahtzee games but it lets you play with friends using GameCenter so thats cool. It would be even cooler if it actually showed/used the correct scores. Ill keep 15 for our 5s then when our opponent plays back itll switch to 10 for 5s, or Ill get a full house and itll switch to a 0 after the opponent plays back. Has potential to be a good game, but be warned that the scoring is absolute garbage in it.
Way too many ads! We paused the fame to customize the board and became stuck in a loop of ads before it would allow us to resume our game. We once paid for this game years ago but it would not link to new phone. What a waste.
We really love YAHTZEE and played the real game our entire life. Some of the fun is sometimes having a good game and sometimes having a bad game..depending on how your RANDOM turns of throwing of the dice turn out. Not only does this game pretty much roll the same dice in separate games and in the same order, but if you keep one dice in your first of 3 turns, you can count on rolling the same four dice that you just picked up for your next 2 turns. We have tried to delete the game and reloading itdoesnt help. We really love the graphics of this app, but can you please update it with the technology that some of the other Yahtzee or Yachty or Yatzy games have.
Truly random rolls of the dice? No way. Its all programmed. One example: started a game (cpu leads). First turn up cpu rolls all five the same. Not happy with this, we restart the game. Again, cpu gives itself five of the same dice. Im mad, so we restart yet again. Can you guess? Yup: a third in a row of all five dice the same. Now Im apoplectic. Yachty will become a real game when it designs true mathematical randomness into all rolls. Until then, the player is just being controlled.
Youll love this straight up game of Yahtzee. Its pasted the test of time. We played this game years ago and it still doesnt disappoint. Give it a try.
This is by far the best Yatzy game we have played. It is the true game. You get extra 100 points for a second Yatzy and the count of all the dice on Trips and Quads this is the way the game is supposed to be played. Unlike the other Yatzy games out there where the features are not like this one. The outlay is nice and large so you can see. Highly recommend.
This is the only game we have on our phone.
We play the triples game wi h our husband most days. We always win! Lol.
The best thing about this game is that there are NO ads! If there were we would quit playing. Thank you.
When you get a second Yachty in a game, it should automatically give you the 100 points, as well as allowing you to choose where to put the earned points. But it doesnt. We got one, and all we were allowed to claim was 15 for a quad. So we lost the game we should have won. Needs fixing.
Love the game! Our only complaint is there are too many ads.
How do you connect with other players online.
We enjoy the game but would like to see some stats when competing against the cpu…..just to feel better that it is truly random dice throws.
Is there a way to have him start after the add by the time it ends he already took his turn.
You can always. Fun while this game, the best it is all along who would know what fun is game too! Kep on rolin the dise for score.
Just like playing good old Yahtzee.
We do not like the fact that the games are limited. We play every day. Sometimes twice a day, and then we are shut off.
This game is great. We play it a lot when we cant sleep at night.
So fun! We love to play CPU! Especially when we win! So fun, we play every night. Warning, its addictive.
Every time we get a new phone and we download this game it is ALWAYS this app and Ive always had a phone.
Love the game. So much fun. Especially when you can play against a family member. Awesome. Cant wait to see what the new update is.
We have tried other ones and they are not the same you give more options like color of dice.that is why we gave you 5 STARS keep up the great game you have gave everyone Thank you JO.
Love this game! We play it almost every day.
Love this app ,beat dice game ever and a great way to pass time.
Tired of political ads and when offered a bonus roll for watching a video you are stuck there for several videos.
Overall this is a pretty good game. However the rolling odds are too often not believable. How many times playing the real game have you rolled 5 dice six times in a row and not come up with one of the one number you need? In our 50 plus years of playing the real game, never. It has happened to us with this game 2 days in a row. Sorry we paid for the Deluxe version.
Sound not working once Ipad updated to IOS13.6.1.
This goddamn game scams you out of points when you are playing opponents dont get it.
This game is a disaster when playing against friends. It changes scores in the middle of the game. It changes the total score and the winner suddenly becomes the loser. Simple addition seems to be beyond the designers of this game.
Id like to be able to play in portrait mode.
Its even great to play alone …. Its FUN.
Love to play the game and like to customize things.
Love beating the crap out of the CPU.
We love this game it's the best:) but what sense does it make if you can't use the extra rolls?? It's frustrating and causes us to trash our game!!! Please fix the bugs where you don't receive your extra rolls.
