Would anyone be interested in doing a forum based yahtzee game? It'll probably be simplified a little but I imagine it'd be fun! I'm stuck in bed for most part of the day so this would be welcome for me.
I haven't played yahtzee in so long... I only even vaguely remember some of the workings. 
I wouldn't mind re-learning, though.

I can pretend to play and go YAHTZEE! randomly throughout the game lol
Yahtzee as in "Kniffel" ?

Yes!
I'll see about devising a forum friendly game with not too many special rules or scoring system sometime today!
Okay let's see. Here's the scorecard and the system I want to use:
I'm trying to think of an efficient way to roll the dice. It will be 5 dice each turn, and you can 'lock' and 'unlock' a die for the next turn. So during your turn, you can post up to 3 times, then add the score to your card. You could quote your card into your very last roll perhaps? Let me play around with it a little.
Quote:
UPPER SECTION
Ones: Count and add up only ones
Twos: Count and add up only twos
Threes: Count and add up only threes
Fours: Count and add up only fours
Fives: Count and add up only fives
Sixes: Count and add up only sixes
Sum: Add up score of the upper section.
BONUS: If total score above is 60 or more, you gain 50 bonus points. If the score above is less than 60, you don't gain any bonus points.

Small straight: Roll 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 - score 15

Rolled 2 pairs: 6, 6, 3, 3. Score is 18. Yay!
OKAY GUYS does this look doable to you or is it too much of a hassle? This looks like it would be most fun to play in the chat of this topic when everyone is on at the same time to play it.
It might be easier to keep the scorecard in ONE post and edit it whenever we roll, to make it easier and less cluttered.
rolled 1d6 and got 5
never mind
rolled 5d6 and got 19
ima go now then
Ok, so I was dumpster-diving the Games forum and came across this gem ... Sanne's Yahtzee game.
Didn't look like it took off but it does look fun so I'm going to do it! Maybe it will gather steam, maybe not, but ... DICE!
