Yahtzee is played with five dice. Each player rolls five dice and tries to make certain scoring combinations using those five dice. The game consists of thirteen rounds, and on each round players can roll the five dice up to three times, setting aside dice they want to keep between rolls to improve their combinations. The objective is to score points based on various categories that depend on the values of the five dice rolled. Five dice are fundamental to how Yahtzee works, including scoring the highest combination called a "Yahtzee," which is five-of-a-kind. Thus, the number of dice in Yahtzee is five.
