Yahtzee!
Forget Bunco. Yahtzee is the Eternal, the All-Encompassing.

1. Meh...Kismet was way better.
Lots more scoring potential due to the colored dice, things like Full House Same Color and Flush. A lot higher scoring than Yahtzee. It was Black Raspberry ice cream to Yahtzee's Vanilla. :)

2. Just like you to care about....scoring
;-)

Well, I like vanilla. With chocolate syrup. But that does makes the dice messier. x(

3. I like the Large Straight in Yahtzee. The Ancient Romans called it the Venus Throw,
and considered it an omen of great fortune.

4. The best is rolling them on the first try
That's a cool bit of trivia. I am telling my wife that one at our next game. :D

No matter what else happens in the game, I feel better getting them out of the way before I am done with the Small Straights. At 40 points, they are the next best thing to a Yahtzee.

We play Triple Yahtzee - makes the bonuses in the Upper Section much more important, especially if you end up without any Yahtzees.
