I never need to play #yahtzee again. I have reached peak Yahtzee.

A legit Yahtzee score of 415. 2 Yahtzees and I used the second as a "joker" to fill in my last unused slot, a large straight. I never need to play this again ever.

it’s all very unintuitive, and you get to do all of this while listening to the same four or five music tracks until you want to find whatever #hiphop artist coined the practice of going “UH, UH, YEAH” in place of lyrics and push a small volume of Shakespearean sonnets down his windpipe. - #Yahtzee - Tales from the giant robot fairy -#ZeroPunctuation / #FullyRamblomatic https://zeropunctuation.fandom.com/wiki/Xenoblade_Chronicles_X

"A good plot elevates the material. A bad plot is a missed opportunity".

is right the moment he says that about , and all games.

🕹️ Title: Yaya
🦊️ What's: A libre game of Yahtzee (and variants)

📖 Our entry: lebottinlinux.vps.a-lec.org/LO
🕵‍ 25.05: 👍️⭐⭐⭐

🥁️ Update: 24.12 & 25.05
⚗️ Maintenance 🪛️
📌️ Changes: github.com/trixon/yaya/release
🦣️ From: 🛜️ github.com/trixon/yaya/release

🕶️ A view of its UI with the Maxi yaya variant where the scoreboard shows the types of combinations to be made, the minimum and maximum score that can be made per combination, the combinations already validated and corresponding points. Below, 4 dice with a value of 1, 2, 3, 4 have been retained, and 2 dice have been put back into play (which can be found in the virtual hand of the player who is about to play them again). The top of the scoreboard shows that this is the 1st dice roll (1/3) for the player Toto1.

📚️ Yaya is a libre and multi-platform game of Yahtzee (and variants), SP(AI) / multiplayer (up to 8 in hotseat), where the objective is to obtain the highest possible score over several rounds (1 to 3 rolls of all or part of the dice per round) via several imposed combinations of 5 dice. A game where luck is present, but also reflection, because according to the configuration of the dice obtained at the 1st throw of the turn, the player will have to choose one of the available combinations (that he can play only once and will have to optimize). This port offers several variants (Crag, Maxi Yaya, Quickie, Straight, Yacht, Yaya, Scandinavian Yaya), sound effects on dice roll, interface zoom and scoreboard customization. Very nice.

🌘 GitHub - charliemeyer/yahtzeeql:主要使用 SQL 的 Yahtzee 解題器
➤ 利用 SQL 破解 Yahtzee 的最佳策略
github.com/charliemeyer/yahtze
這個 GitHub 倉庫「yahtzeeql」是一個主要使用 SQL 的 Yahtzee (骰子遊戲) 解題器。它提供了多種策略來模擬遊戲並最大化得分,包括隨機策略、貪婪策略、以及基於概率表的策略。使用者可以設定模擬次數,選擇互動模式(手動選擇策略),並查看得分分佈圖。該專案使用 Python 撰寫,並利用 SQLite 資料庫儲存概率表,以提升解題效率。
+ 哇,這實在太酷了!用 SQL 解決遊戲問題,真是個創新的想法,而且看起來效果還不錯。
+ 對於喜歡程式設計和 Yahtzee 的人來說,這是一個非常有趣的專案,可以學習如何利用資料庫和概率來優化遊戲策略。

🎲🔍 Behold, the pinnacle of human achievement: solving with SQL! Because clearly, what the world desperately needed was a way to make both board games and databases even more . 🙄💾

#Yahtzee on #SecondWind has a go at vocalising his thoughts on #roguelike #games (or perhaps #roguelite

youtu.be/1eEFSGuWo64

His main take on it seems to be that the #ProcGen elements facilitates "easier" and "speedier" #GameDev.

I think his frustration is based more on an oversaturation of the #roguelike "marketing label" being splashed on anything that cherry picks a few mechanics that originate from the #TraditionalRoguelike palette.

Are there any (good) #FOSS #Yahtzee games for #Android?

#ThreeGoodThings #ReasonsToBeCheerful

1. Had a lovely dinner with NM. Smoked turkey legs and loaded mashed potatoes. all homemade.

2. Snagged The Sims 25th Birthday Bundle with The Sims 1, The Sims 2 and all the accompanying packs.

3. Played three rounds of Yahtzee with NM. I won 2/3, but regardless, it was nice actually playing a "board" game again for a change. Reminds me of the good ole' days.

1/2 For #dinner tonight I made my own gumbo — chicken andouille sausage, vegetable, spices, rice. It’s a one-pot winner.

Then my 17yo and I played #Yahtzee — which is actually my own Yahtzee from when I was a kid in the ‘70s. He won, and was very happy about it, lol.

I did these activities purposefully & in the spirit of a quote I posted yesterday:

Seeing a post on Yahtzee rolls and their distribution made me wonder: are there any RPGs out there with mechanics based on #Yahtzee or similar systems? Would advantage/disadvantage be best represented by more/fewer #dice, or available rerolls?

Alternatively, are there dice pool systems that offer specific "targets" rather than (or in addition to) counting success/failure, i.e. "if you can roll a 1 through 6 straight, it's a critical success" or similar? Or something involving poker dice?

Because I was seduced by glamour of the 5d6 discussion brought on by @Firr a week ago, I've continued developing breakdowns of single-5d6 rolls.

Those sums make up a lovely distribution, don't they?

#Yahtzee #Dice #Probability

Pie chart of five different types of outcomes of a single 5d6 throw (n=7776).  Yahtzee=0.08%, 4-of-a-kind=1.93%, 3-of-a-kind=19.29%, a pair or two (69.44%), and 5 different dice=9.26%.A bar chart of the various sums from single 5d6 throws (n=7776), ranging from 1 each for 5 & 30, to the highest totals of 780 for 17 & 18.A sheet of probabilities and number of outcomes for various single 5d6 throws (n=7776).  These include the odds for single-throw Yahtzees (0.08%), 3-of-a-kind or better (21.30%), Large Straights (3.09%), Small Straights (9.26%), and Full Houses (3.94%).

@fundamental @Firr You and I have very similar styles methinks. I did the same thing on Bluesky. #Yahtzee #5d6

The last page of the Yahtzee Brute Force spreadsheet, which starts at the top with 6-6-6-3-1 and ends with 6-6-6-6-6.  In the bottom half are the percentages for several types of rolls, as well as the average sum of 5d6 and the percentage of 5d6 rolls at least 20 (30.52%).  A Yahtzee is 0.08% likely on a single 5d6 roll; a four-of-a-kind (non-Yahtzee) is 1.93%; a three-of-a-kind (non-Yahtzee; non-four-of-a-kind) is 19.29%; a large straight is 3.09%; a small straight is 9.26%; a full house is 3.94%.The first page of the brute-force spreadsheet of Yahtzee, showing the first several 5d6 roll outcomes from 1-1-1-1-1 to 1-1-2-3-3.  Columns show the statistical mode of the roll, the number of dice of the mode, the sum of the 5d6, and the count of each of the six dice.The second page of the brute-force spreadsheet of Yahtzee, showing the first several 5d6 roll outcomes from 1-1-2-3-4 to 1-1-3-5-6.
