Yahtzee!

One of the most popular gifts this Christmas was a game my parents gave us. Yahtzee Turbo. The first game was played Christmas afternoon and there was a game going almost constantly after that. The game says 2-4 players, but we had as many as 7 playing at one time. Each player gets 5 cards with different dice combinations on them; full house, small and large straights, and 3 or 4 of a kind. The object of the game is to roll the exact combination shown on your top card before the "Big Die" times out. The first person to get rid of all their cards wins. It's a little tricky though, cuz if you don't get your combination in time, the "Big Die" can tell you to simply pass the dice to the next player, or draw 2 more cards, and many other options. The "Big Die" got yelled at quite a bit over the first week in it's life with the Jones family. We played it so much, the color is already wearing off the corners of the dice! It is a very fun game and it's great, cuz even the little kids could play. Much family fun!!!
