The history and evolution of Yahtzee

One of the oldest games in history is the dice game. A die is usually made of wood or ivory with a shape that resembles a cube. The dots are embedded in each side of the cube indicating the number from 1 to 6. It is played by throwing the dice on the floor or a table.

Yahtzee is one of the most popular dice games. The origin of the game is debated until we know it by experts who knew how to focus on its development since the most remote times. Many people claim that the game was invented by Milton Bradley. The current owner of the rights to the game, instead, says it was invented by a Canadian couple.

Also according to “Hasbro” (the current owner of the rights to the game), Yahtzee became popular when the Canadian couple visited a toy manufacturer to create dice for the game they call the “Yacht Game.” The toy maker liked the game and asked the couple to buy the rights to the game. The toy maker later changed its name to “Yahtzee.” This became Hasbro’s standard claim.

Yahtzee is played using 13 categories. The game depends on the pure luck and the minimum calculation of the player. It usually begins by allowing a player to choose a certain combination. Then the players would roll the dice and try to get the combination of their choice. The player’s score is based on the results of the combinations they obtained each turn.

As the games grew in popularity, many versions were created. Therefore, players are free to choose the version they like. Through this, they can enjoy what they are playing and develop a certain bond with the nature of the game.

With the advent of modern technology, Yahtzee was finally transformed into an online game. The online version makes use of virtual dice. Instead of playing the game in an open area, it is currently played with a computer or any other electronic device.

More and more sites offer the online version of Yahtzee. There are also many players who got hooked on the game. Since it is offered for free, almost everyone has the opportunity to play. All they need to do is log into a particular site where the game is offered.

Eventually, Yahtzee emerged as one of the favorite hobbies and leisure activities of some. Players can relax the game.
