Much of the allure of playing Yahtzee is shaking the cup full of die – the actual tangible feeling, before dumping them onto the table. The game allows you to, for as long as you want, shake the cup with the analog stick, but it isn't the same. It can't be the same. It's only slightly harmed, but if that doesn't sound like an issue than it most likely wont be. Even more so than the other Hasbro Family Game Night titles, this is really for fans, and should please anyone who considers Yahtzee to be fun.
A new edition of the classic dice game Yahtzee has launched today, now available to download exclusively for Nokia Lumia handsets. Do you have what it takes to become a Yahtzee master? Now you can travel the globe and take on in-game characters designed to test your skills.

There are 5 dice in a cup. You shake the cup and let the dice roll out onto the table. The goal is to obtain the highest score from throwing 5 dice 3 times over 13 rounds. In each round, you roll the dice and then score the roll in one of 13 categories. The categories include simple things like rolling 6's or 3 of a kind, but also includes 5 of a kind (which is called Yahtzee). When all your goals, both successful and unsuccessful are completed, you all add up your scores and the highest score wins."
