Emne: Re: Best score?

overlander: That's a great score. When I played a lot of Y*htztee years ago, I was always happy to get 300 -- over 1800 in triple is at least as good as averaging over 300 in 3 games (better, since the bonus isn't doubled or tripled!)

the webtv fs needs 3 more dice poker players to be able to join fencer's team tourns. you don't need to have webtv, it would be to help us out, there's quite a few of us there that have pcs now. of course you can leave after the tourn.
thx. ellie

Emne: Best score?

I just finished a game with a score of 1800 -- seems to me that's a pretty good score, though I didn't feel I was burning down the home stretch. What's your best score?

doubling cube would solve all the problems with Dice Poker ... but nobody wants to listen ...

Emne: Re: Triple Dice Poker variant?

BIG BAD WOLF: Yes! Bankroll Dice Poker will extend the game's strategy even further. Also how about another DP variant that adds the bonus rule to the simple (13 turn) chart? The game's strategy will change also cause 35 points is pretty much in normal DP and you can't just put a bad result on the threes anymore, e.g.

29. mars 2007, 07:32:25

Emne: Re: Triple Dice Poker variant?

BIG BAD WOLF: That is what I mean! You need to allow yourself the chance to win, without allowing your opponent the chance to force you into being up by a 100 point margin... Does that make sense? There is a lot more strategy in this version than the current TPD... It would make for a very interesting game, I bet you would actually like it because it would require tons more stategy than the current game...

Anyone interested in trying an unrated TPD game with those rules? (The one additional rule is you lose if up by 100 or more points at any point in the game)

Emne: Re: Triple Dice Poker variant?

rednaz23: I think it would be very simple to put 0 for every catergory except for Chance - so I would think most of the time it would not be to much fun.

Some variants I would like to see:

1. 6 dice version - with some different categories and such (both single & triple)

2. Bankroll Dice Poker - You start the game out with a bankroll of 26 rolls (78 for triple version). So you can use more then the normal 2 extra rolls for each round if you need to - but will run out by the end of the game - or use 0 or 1 roll to have extra rolls later on in the game. So if you REALLY need 5 in a row to catch up and have plenty of rolls left, you can roll extra times to try to get it. (I'm debating if it should be 26/78 - or add an extra 5 rolls to each to make the starting bankroll of 31/83 rolls for each game.)

Emne: Triple Dice Poker variant?

Modifisert av rednaz23 (28. mars 2007, 22:11:00)

I am curious to see if we could have a variant where at any point during the game you go up by 100 points you automatically lose. I think it would be cool to see, because it would cause some strategy to be added to a game that is mostly luck.

The goal if neither player was ever up by 100, would still be to win the game by having more points. I think it sounds very interesting!

Any thoughts?

Emne: Fencer, do something, please

I think people won't stop complaining about crippled Dice Poker ... game of Yahtze is so popular that stepping down to Dice Poker is felt like punishment ... but for what ? I've seen many yahtzee-like games having built in bonus.
The only difference was the name of the game.
Fencer, I know you said NO to any changes, but
I am sure this particular case of game asks for
some kind of compromise ... please think it over again.

Emne: Re:

alanback: Youre right because it actually is a true full house, 2 of a kind and 3 of a kind.. just the same kind!

26. februar 2007, 21:15:57

Emne: Re:

janajana: Yes, even without the "second Yahtzee wild" rule, there's a case to be made that 5 of a kind should qualify as a full house.

26. februar 2007, 20:47:14

i sort of hoped i could use it for full house too, but no:/ http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r269/kjana/Snapshot2007-02-2620-44-57.jpg talk about bad luck

Emne: Re: Double Yahtzee

MagicDragon: a second yahtzee cant be put anywhere else than in its regular places .. 3-of-a-kind, 4-of-a-kind, chance, and any of the top half (where it will only give points on 1 of them (the one with which the yahtzee is made :))

we dont have the rule that you describe .. we gain an extra 100 points for an extra yahtzee and then have to enter the extra yahtzee somewhere in the normal way as i described above ..

on brainking we dont get the 100 bonus points though :)

(btw you cant use a yahtzee for a fullhouse)

MagicDragon: A second 5 of a kind can go in 3 of a kind, 4 of a kind spot or up top if the slot is open ( ie you get 5- 5's and u need 5's put it in there)

Emne: Double Yahtzee

I'm wondering if you already have a Yahtzee & then you get another 1, & let's say, you have a Large Straight still open, can you put that roll (Yahtzee) in it & still get credited for the 40 pts for the Large like in the regular version of Yahtzee? Thanks!

But why aren't the bonuses doubled or tripled?

Whups, now I see that Triple Dice Poker does have a bonus ... how confusing is that!

Emne: Re: Bonus`

alanback: Yeah, that is the only flaw, in my opinion. To me, a major part of the game is missing without the bonus. That's why I'll probably mostly play the Triple version.

Hey, all.. does the Triple Yahtzee game that you can buy have different colors on the dots of the dice? Or was that yet another variation? For some reason I thought I remembered green, black, and red dots...

jryden:
since bonus is not available whay not use doubling cube ... common guys, let's introduce doubling cube ... I've already seen so many fine situations that screamed for doubling cube action ...
and yes, there is something disturbing with the present highlighting the cells ... I made several mistakes rolling for opponents cells.

a coloring would of my side would be best i think

Emne: Some suggestions...

Two options to help me stop tallying my opponents score as my own (am I alone on this one?)

1) Highlight my side when I am viewing the game (yes, I know the table lines are bold but apparently this isn't enough.)

2) Have my side always appear on the same side of the board. This is done for Backgammon no?

I also heartily agree with krybulon: a bonus in dice poker would make this game much more interesting...

Yahtzee without the bonus just isn't Yahtzee. It's a very different game. Can we have the real thing please? It IS out of copyright I believe.

Fencer, is it possible to introduce a Joker in Dice Poker ... ? I mean the second 5 in a row could work like this and the player could freely choose h/is/er score ?
