Yahtzee Free for All is a new twist on Yahtzee. Players try to roll dice to match cards that are face up on the board. If they match, they place their dice in their holder with their card in front of them. Each subsequent player can now try for any of the cards on the board, including the ones other players have taken, if they can beat their dice roll.
Yahtzee Free for All supports 2–6 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Yahtzee Free for All is 20 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.
