Each turn, the player may roll three times, each time setting aside any dice that they wish to keep the value of.
The players take turns and must write down a value each turn. If no value can be written, then '0' must be written for one of the combinations.
If a combination contains '0' or a value, it may no longer be changed.
If a player already has a yahtzee and throws another yahtzee, he adds 100 points to the yahtzee score. And also write the score in a 'normal' box. If he can no longer write the value in a normal square (because, for example, he only has the streets open, he must write a '0' somewhere.
The top 6 scores in the list give a bonus of 35 points if 63 points or more are achieved.
