Tips & Tricks

🎯 You must choose a category every turn, even if it gives you 0 points (This is called a scratch)

❌ If you have a bad roll, it’s better to scratch the harder categories early (like Yahtzy or Large Straight — they’re harder to hit later too)

🎉 If you roll another Yahtzy after your first one, you get a 100-point bonus!

📝 But even with that bonus, you still need to pick a scoring category — If nothing fits, you may have to scratch something else!
