AI Yatzy
Free GameAbout AI Yatzy
Yatzy is a dice game common in Scandinavia. The rules differ somewhat from similar games like Yahtzee (® in the United States by Hasbro) and Yacht. AI Yatzy follows standard Yatzy rules, and contains a powerful engine to challenge your game, or to help you with hints.
Answers to comments:
"Never allows credit for small straight": This is Yatzy, and in Yatzy, a small straight is 1-2-3-4-5. Of course the game allows credit for this definition of a small straight, and the AI plays by the same rules as the player.
"Strange random number generation": Prior to version 2.1.0, AI Yatzy played with the same dice (same outcome when rolling a specific die) as the player in Challenge mode, as this emphasizes strategy over luck. Since this confused some users, 2.1.0 introduces the possibility to let AI Yatzy roll its dice independently of the player.
"Boring": True, Yatzy is not the most fast paced of games. It is a surprisingly strategic game, though, which is what fascinates me about it.
"Not installable on SD": Version 1.02 introduced SD installation, 10 minutes after I got the comment. Sadly, there is no way on Android Market to communicate back to users that their comments/requests have been addressed.
"Not displayed properly on Galaxy Tab": I tried to adjust this, but it is difficult to know if the game displays correctly on each of the 413 Android devices that I do not own. I will do my best to adjust the game to be playable on a specific device, if you write me an email.

I love having the chance to see how the AI plays the same dice I get. And the choice to play separate dice too.

The game never allows credit for a small straight so the game always wins.

Finally a game with the classic (scandinavian) yatzy-rules! Very intuitive and easy to get started and it becomes quite addictive! Smart design makes it look really good on my tablet as well as phone. Can only recommend it as an excellent timekiller.

A lil sound of the dice would be nice! And why isnt the Computer opponents score visible at all times.., instead of having to wait for the Pop up scoring at end of round! You could just place the AIs score anywhere, then no need to wait for the Pop up!

Half the time last two rolls never change the dice. AI almost always gets a yazty every game or has a 100 pt comeback at the very end. I've always enjoyed this type of game but this I uninstalled. I'll find an other to try.

Really fun game. My only complaint is it takes several steps to start the next game!

Summary after each set is annoying. Strange rules for small and large straight. Yahtzee rules are small = 4 & large = 5 consecutive numbers. Uninstall

Chris, Tena - this is NOT Yahtzee, it is Yatzy! Round summaries can be disabled with two clicks. Please ask me for help before giving negative reviews
