Re: Yacht Highscores

Hi mathgogocart,

Haven't played that game for years! Played it quite a bit back then, though, but I think it was called YahtC (same game, I think).

Anyway, I got 318.

Re: Yacht Highscores

Hi mathgogocart,

I didn't know it was possible to get a score that low! wink

No disrespect, but are you sure you're playing it correctly? The rules are on the opening page.

Are you using all 3 rolls of the dice? Could be that you're making some wrong choices, too.

Re: Yacht Highscores

Xlnt! smile

You'll be past 300 before you know it!!

Btw, the highest score you can get is 375...for which you'd need the following:
1 Yacht of ones;
1 Yacht of twos;
1 Yacht of threes;
1 Yacht of fours;
1 Yacht of fives;
4 Yachts of sixes;
1 Yacht of any one denomination;
1 Full House;
1 Small Straight;
1 Big Straight.

That might take us a while to get!! faint
